Yes. I have a large garden.  I do various types of tomatoes, green beans, snow peas, asparagus, cucumbers, peppers, hot peppers, squash, radishes, beets, carrots, watermelon, cantaloupe, onions, broccoli...and whatever else I feel like.  I love fresh produce and its therapeutic to dig in the dirt.

I don't plant foods but do plant flowers. I have a lovely flower and cherry tree garden in the back of my house and I plant flowers there plus flowers in pots that I hang around outside to soak up the summer sun. They are really pretty.

I don't garden but I really wish I could. I would love to grow flowers and vegetables in my yard but I don't know how to do it correctly. Maybe someday I will learn. ???

I have a few tulips that bloom every year, and a few rose bushes, but the closest thing I do to gardening is to prune once in a while.

I will probably just do a few tomato plants this year as my dogs tend to destroy plants.  I don't have much hope for my flowers either even though I wintered over a bunch of them and I am starting new ones from the old ones.

We put up a small raised bed garden last year.  We need to get some nutrients into the soil and cut down a few tree branches to give the area more sunshine.

Plan to plant tomatoes, peppers and onions

No _ I don't garden.  Sometimes I wish I did, but know I wouldn't spend enough time keeping it up.  I admire anyone who does garden.

That sounds amazing, like you'd never need to go to the grocery store! :)

We used to have cherry tomatoes in the backyard, but that was forever and a day ago. I would love to grow some veggies and flowers, but I don't really have a green thumb and probably couldn't commit to it like I should. Sounds fun though!

I do not plant my own foods, but I had an idea of self conservation of my home, like solar panels and water and food from a food maker like star trek but those arent invented yet

I used to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, potatoes, squash, and cucumbers. Last year I didn't plant anything and this year I'm not able to grow anything. I'm hoping next year I'll have a nice garden.
