My Garden...Do you have one? (Pics included)

Great garden! I love the herb garden too. I hope to have a flower, veggie and herb garden someday. We have a lot of work still to do in our yard. I would have one already except our soil is clay and too difficult for me to dig myself and my husband is too busy now to help. Being so inexperienced I know it will take some years to ge the hang of gardening. Right now I'm trying to be a better cook so I can do something with whatever I may grow. Anyway, I am very impressed with everything you guys have grown and made!

Anna, what a great garden!!!
You grow much of the same things my husband grows.
Your fried zucchini looks wonderful!
Have you ever tried zucchini puffs? How about oven-fried eggplant?

This year I've been experimenting by throwing diced zucchini, peppers, eggplant into the crock pot and adding different things like salad dressings for the "juice", or creamed soups, spaghetti sauce and macaroni. Everything has been different and good!

I myself do a bit of flower gardening although I must admit, since becoming a Philadelphia Phillies Phan, getting the computer, getting older and having 5 cats to care for...My flower gardening has taken a back seat.

It's time for a set of new garden stories.

I was doing some weeding and am going to clear out the stuff around my pepper plants.

I have cucumbers, dill, coriander and two kinds of tomato seed to start!

I am going to get more beets and radishes-those were my experiments last year!:D

ANyone with compost heap hints?

I wonder if we ought to start a new 2010 Gardening thread to make it easier to get to current posts? (just a suggestion)

I've started some cleaning up of the yard but I'm not very motivated this year. My crocus are blooming, tulips, daff's, and hyacinths are poking out of the ground.

My husband started his seeds in the cellar. He puts them on the heater for bottom heat to start then under a grow light til he can put them outside for a couple days of hardening up and finally into the garden. Quite a few of the seeds are up...tomatoes, peppers. I can't keep track of everything he plants. He burnt down the old asparagus growth the other day.

I'll be able to share pictures as the season really gets going.

I have started my seeds in the basement as well. Hubby built me a grow light shelf years ago and I so enjoy this hobby. I plant the seeds 1/31
in honor of my grandmother. Mine are doing great and am looking forward to the first week in May when it's time to plant them outside.
Your veggies all look great. You have such a green thumb, not I take that back you're whole body is green.

I have a LOT of work to get on with the young snake plants I started from leaf cuttings. I also need to repot all the houseplants I have, and divide the peace lilies. And get baby spider plants started. AND get some perennial divisions potted.
I sell all these at a little "picnic table road side stand" in my front yard.
Before becoming a strictly indoor-only cat parent, I used to have a LOT of houseplants. I don't have that many now and most of them are hanging from the cellar rafters under a grow light. The cats won't stop chewing on them if I try to keep them upstairs.

Pics of my 'harvest'.

I am going to turn over the soil to start all over again!

I LOVE gardening!!
I live 12 stories up (far less bugs) & I face west so I get a LOT of sun. Right now I have 3 different species of Tomatoes, Beefstake, a yellow kind, & Cherry, all 3 are a little over a foot tall & have MANY branches as I've been snipping the suckers (I think thats what dad called them). I have a Habinaro plant that is about 5" tall, darn thing took 2 months to sprout.. I thought it was a failed plant, but nope, its looking good. 3 Bean plants, & my suicidal Pea plant, its been giving me peas all winter long (YUM). Thats it for veggies, as I can't grow any crawling plants on the Balcony.

I have a strawberry plant that has given me berries all winter long. I accidently killed 90% of the poor plant, so its slowly recovering :(

I also have Thyme, Coriander, Dill, Rosemary, Marjarum (sp?), Lemon Basil, Parsley, Chives & several others (they slip my mind right now). I have 10 in total I believe.

The Thyme & the Parsley have been growing since last summer, so they are lovely plants & I've been cooking with them both. The other herbs are about a week old, so they are tiny; 2 haven't sprouted yet.

I need a new bag of dirt to transplant the tomatoes into their permant pots. Then I need to get a larger pot for the Habinaro, & med sized pots for the herbs when they get larger.

I LOVE plants. I also have many many many other plants in the house. When my spider Plants have too many babies, I pick some off & give hem away.
