We have a huge yard.


There are goose berries, plums and cherry trees, strawberries in pots all over the yard, and grapevines all along the back fence. In the garden area we have tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots right now. We didn't do too much with it this year. Did start a compost pile. We were talking about getting a green house or making one. I would love to have tomatoes and cucs all year long. On my window seal is parsley and basil I just started those this spring. Will grow them all year if I can.


If I had my way I would live on a ranch and be totally self feeding lol don't know what to call it, Were we raise our own meat, have our own dairy supply, and be able to ride horses. Barter with the ranch down the road for some of their fine cheese for our awesome beef. *sighs*


Is corn hard to grow?

Didn't do any squash this year.

umm sno peas

I don't really have a garden , but we get a lot of blackberries that grow around the edge of the yard. I have a hard time getting plants to live.

Boo Hoo....we moved from our old house of 20 years, into a brand new place, so just getting the yards going was a challenge.

I did get a couple of my raised garden beds up and planted, so have a few veggies...


zucchini

yellow squash

cucumbers

red bell peppers

green bell peppers

several varieties of tomatoes

herbs

mints


Next year, I'll get the rest of my beds done and add some

strawberries

carrots

lettuces

asparagus

blueberries

Nods. I got my front garden all squared away for this year, haven't managed to tackle the back garden.


It was REALLY important that I got the herbs up and running, as well as peppers and tomatoes.


I like to make my own bread, and thus, my own bruscetta. Herbs just taste nummy when they're fresh, and making your own spaghetti sauce is loads of fun.

Nummers...bruscetta! I love the bread goods, but oh gosh, they add the pounds on me!


Btw Darwy...that's a nice blogspot you keep! I have to admit, I snooped around a wee bit!





Esty

Thanks


I don't give him bruscetta daily, but he gets it once in a while. I try to spoil him terribly

Well, spoiling terribly can have its rewards! lol...


I try to do that when I have the chance...and coming up on 24 years, it seems to be working! Although I do have to say, if I gave him bruscetta or any bread goods often, I'd be bowed to like a goddess! Even if he couldn't quite make it to his toes, due to the 500 pounds! He he...





Esty

Cucumber, carrots, tomatos and thats all pretty much that i have actually 'grown'


I also have a peach tree in my yard, though it probly won't fruit for another 2 years due to me getting mad one year at getting rid of all the bad ones (LOTS OF THEM, EVERYWHERE!!!) and cutting all the branches (not fatally, just enough so they can grow back less thick this time... they were literally breaking horirbly due to the weight of the fruit.


I also have a walnut tree, which is another pretty big pain in the ass of its own. Able to get a whole lotta good walnuts but thats the problem, theres a lot of those aswell. I end up giving up and running them all over with my lawnmower.


I do think of myself as a fairly active gardening person though for a college kid.
