What's in your garden?

[Pinkwaterlily]

I gave up my garden spot to my 13 year old son, he's growing pumpkins.

 

[A New Dawn]

I'm sure I have vegetables somewhere in my garden, but after being gone 9 days, I can't find them.

 

[Solitaire]

My dh and I are in the process of ripping out and redoing all of our gardens (yes, this will be a long project!). Currently we have broccoli and carrots which will stay, as well as some mature lilly pillys. When it gets a little warmer (we're in winter here in the southern hemisphere) I'll plant some zinnias and other colourful flowers.

Just about everything else, including some beautiful but badly placed azaleas is being pulled.

Hi

have just moved house, and now have a garden full of weeds. have got japanese maples in pots from old house, and rhoderdendrons (cant spell it). have also got 3 pots of herbs on kitchen windowledge

 

[CandyKisses]

I had some beautiful tomato plants, until either deer or racoons ate them...arghhh

 

[Skyman87]

I got four tomato plants, one jalopeno, one bell pepper, and two watermelon plants....or so it seems....and the watermelon have taken up like half my yard

 

[Irenaeus]

Three Tomato plants, one bell pepper, about eight spinach plants, 5 cucumber plants, some peas, carrots....

 

[Gardenia]

I use a lot of herbs in my cooking, and because they're expensive I grow my own. This year I grew basil, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Normally I grow more, but I knew id be doing a lot of travel this summer. (I also have a flower garden too.)

My grandfather planted the rest of the garden, tomatoes, peas, potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, Japanese raddishes, and a few other things.

We also grow rasberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries.. but they're sort of wild plants, and we dont have to do much to take care of them.

Well that's a fun poll!

Onions, tomatoes, basil, carrots, squash, radishes, beans...

And outside of the vegetable garden, I have zinnias, black-eyed susans, sunflowers, chamomile (which never came up), lavendar (which never came up), butterfly-garden wildflowers, gardenia, rosemary, lantana, asparagus fern, petunias, verbena, Boston fern, palm, caladium, and a few other things I'm not thinking of.

You didn't have "deer" on the list so I had to put "other plants"...not that there's any of them left. I love deer but..........

oh well :o

This deer was extremely determined. It ate around all my deterents which, up until yesterday, worked like a charm. I'm telling myself right now the plants needed to be cut back anyway, that the deer did me a favor....hmmmmm....

Anyone have any good recipes for venison?

 

[cristalblaze]

Roses, Zinnias, peppermint, and assorted ground covers. We have trees, and mock oranges, bulbs of dubious ancestry, and privets. Our vegetable garden was postponed due to rainy weather until it was too late to plant. So next year, I hope.

We have a very small garden this year. We were testing out organic gardening with the lasagna gardening method. It has worked great so we are going to plant a bigger garden next year. We have 4 big beef tomatoes, 4 cherry tomatoes, 2 red bell peppers, 2 green bell peppers, 1 sweet banana pepper and 1 habenero pepper plant.

 

[leytonstones]

In our garden we have:

Rhubarb, gooseberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, autumn raspberries, strawberries and loganberries. We also have apple trees, a pear tree, and a plum tree. I will be growing three different kinds of tomatoes this year, plus climbing green beans and hopefully some peppers. I am trying mangetout peas for the first time. I may still be in time to put in some red onions, as they can be quite expensive to buy here. I also grow quite a few herbs and flowers for the house as well as a few houseplants.
