[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I finished planting my garden today

Don't hurt yourself laughing please

When my neighbor passed I lost garden privileges in his yard, so I make the best of it.

Attached File

Parsley, dill, 4 tomatoes (3 better boys, one cherry), green bell pepper and a mini egg plant

Please don't laugh

I won't laugh, you've got more in soil than I do at the moment.

I don't laugh at anyone who gets off their butt and does something.

Enjoy your tomatoes (gateway drug to edible gardening).

It's scaled back big time. For years I had tomatoes, green beans, butter beans, squash and okra and some years I tried "different" stuff

We have a nice farmers market to fill in the gaps

You won't hear any laughter from me.

I have about 25'x70' planted right now with everything coming up nicely.

We're trying the rotation where we have chickens on one side this season, and garden on the other. For fall planting the chickens, and the garden will move.

This is a new plan of action for us so I hope it works.

Anybody who grows some portion of their own food has my respect.

Here is what I used to grow in. My neighbor was getting old so I did his garden and of course shared.

Oh, and I grew cucumbers every year and one year potatoes and one year sweet potatoes

Patio garden, nice. Add basil.

You could do pole beans with that setup. Another pot, and a long stick in it.
Or stuff like cucumbers up a trellis.

Google vertical gardening for more ideas.

Basil and my stomach do no not get along for some reason. I did grow it and give it to my neighbor, she made pesto.

I tried cukes in pots, they didn't produce. I also tried squash, didn't produce. Some things just need space or real dirt

No laughter from this direction! I don't even have my garden cleaned out yet.

Keep us updated. I'm sorry you lost your neighbor and friend. That was a pretty little garden plot.

But lots of folks do great in containers. Will look forward to more pics. Gardening is gardening.

I'm not laughing.

I tip my hat for you doing something other than watching TV.

Still too cold here but getting ready.

Doing cherry tomatoes and peppers in buckets on the deck.

In the ground will be several types of sugar snap peas and bush beans, pole beans, cukes, summer squash and zucchini, carrots, spaghetti squash... that's it I think.

Good job OP.
