Outdoor Gardening

[clickers]

Outdoor gardening is great. I like to eat fresh vegetable from my garden. No pesticides, herbacides or toxins.

We used to put an acre of ground in a garden raising corn, cukes 4 kinds of peppers, potatoes, onions, carrots, lettuce, spinach, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli, green beans, and 4 kinds of tomatoes.

LIttle by little, we shrank our garden as the kids moved out until now we only have a small raised garden with yellow beans, onions and tomatoes. We raise cukes and potatoes in containers and I had started a herb garden but can no longer do it because I can't kneel on the ground or even sit on those stools. I miss my herbs. I had planted sage, oregano, Italian parsley, dill, basil, and something else (forgot). Sage and oregano are perennials so they come up every year, but I can't get to them because of the uneven ground, so I watch them grow from a distance and wish.

My son put in raised beds at his place for me to garden. I live in an apt.

Grow tons of broccoli, t'amaters, peppers, eggplant, red cabbage, eggplant, herbs for cooking, zucchini and squash.

Love it, love it. I will take coffee and a muffin out with me sometimes, and just sit and relish the setting.

I love that everyone is sharing. Does anyone have a rain barrel? We have 1 and are going to set up 2 more this year off of the roof of our work shed.

i give up   

The chipmunks and squirrels are impossible to manage where I live and they eat the blooms off of everything. I also have a shady yard and bad soil so it takes tons of effort to have a garden. After 6 years of trying various methods, i give up. I hope others have a better experience than me!! If i had to eat from a garden i grew, i would starve!

Yes, we plant tomatoes, peppers, green beans, beets, radishes, corn, cucumbers, potatoes, watermelon, squash, snap peas, and flowers.  I live and breathe gardening in spring summer and fall.  Oh, I forgot asparagus.
