    I want to do a garden with kids when I start my daycare but I heard that licensing wont allow tomatoes or potatoes because the vines have poison
    I really want to grow tomatoes

        I have great intentions of planting a garden this year. It burns a lot of calories, .

        I'm hoping for:
        tomatoes
        cucumbers
        zuchinni
        maybe carrots
        maybe other things. we'll see. I have a struggling strawberry bush. I want to plant a couple blueberry bushes, maybe some raspberries in a back corner of the yard.

        I have a lot of space in my yard that needs a purpose. I've actually been thinking about posting some photos and asking for advices/ideas on what to do with these dumb zones in my yard.
        Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

          Well right now I don't know the lay out situation because I don't plan on doing daycare in my current home or even my current town/county. But I asked if they allow it if it was in one of those upside-down hanging things but the director of my schools center says the licensing rules say that it cannot be around anywhere that the kids have access to it. So IDK I'll see.

                Tomatoes, corn, zuchinni, carrots, lettuce and I try strawberries, but those don't work out for me. This year I am going to try cauliflower too.

                  We plant zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, carrots, corn, lettuce and broccoli. We tried pumpkins last year but they split open and rotted. I hope to add potatoes and some red onions this year but the garden is really my husbands thing so I will have to convince him on the onions. Maybe I can get him to plant a few peppers too.

                    Instead of a front lawn I have a lavender garden and mulch.
                    I'd love to see your front yard!

                      I have a large backyard, but zero will to do any gardening.

                      I once took my artificial house plants outside to gently wash them down as they were dusty. I left them to dry and forgot about them and they melted in the sun. My kids thought it was hysterical that their mother could kill artificial plants.....

                      But I am very spoiled by all the local elderly gents who bring me tons and tons of tomatoes, apples, peaches etc. every year.

                              That's funny! I can keep some hardy houseplants alive but I've killed several cactus plants. They don't last long in my care!

                              My husband is the gardener in our house and I get to reap the benefits. He usually plants zucchini, butternut squash, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, pumpkins and sometimes corn.
