What are We Growing This Year in Our Gardens? - cjs - 04-10-2012
I don't know if I'm just getting old, or if I'm just tired of taking care of a garden, but I'm sure having trouble getting in the mood this year.
The greenhouse got to 90° yesterday, so all the little seeds should be in the soil germinating right now!!
What are you all planning to grow - or I should probably say, what are you all growing this year???

Interesting you ask this today. William is bringing Jody home today to do that very thing. He already has the potatoes in the ground. Someone is giving him some asparagus, and I know there will be corn. I'll hve to complete the list tonight when the guys get home.

Okay, the garden is now planted. Here's the list:
4 rows corn
2 rows potatoes
2 kinds of yellow squash
2 kinds of beans
Zucchini
Cucumber
Okra
Asparagus
I have sage, flat leaf parsley, and orange mint here at the house in addition to the Egyptan onion. I want to add basil, cilantro and a couple of tomato plants soon.

Heirloom tomatoes about 120+plants , maybe some melons, and maybe some squash.

Well I'm going to acquire a Prime Time piece of a mostly-sunny-piece of land so next year I may be starting a small garden. Tomatoes will be a must.

I'm concerned about drought in the SE, so I'm not planting much this year. I've replanted all of the herbs that needed replanted, and have some tomatoes, jalapenos, and Japanese eggplant planted, but I think that's about all I'll do. It's too hard to keep everything watered when you commute between places regularly.
Y'all sound so ambitious! I'll have to garden vicariously this year.

William called today to tell me that one of his buddies had a boatload of garlic and didn't know what to do with it. He dug up about a dozen and planted them. He's also added a couple of tomato plants and some romain lettuce. I'm excited about getting me some scapes for a pizza!

I am SO excited. A friend came today and tilled two plots for us. A big one, and another at the side for lettuces. I'll post tomorrow what we'll grow.

I have two tomato plants plus a cherry tomato, one more artichoke plant and some herbs. No heirlooms offered yet.

After a few years of growing mostly flowers, we've got the bug to do veggies again. We are thinking of giving container gardening a try. Found a cool design we hope to change it a bit and make it fit our space http://unsophisticook.com/giving-contain...ook%E2%84%A2%29
Tomatoes of course, eggplant would be nice, peppers and more
