    We plant lots of tomatoes. The kids love cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes, and the yellow ones are acid-free. We plant green pepper because its the only vegetable hubby will eat and we plant cucumbers. We've tried planting eggplant but something eats them

      But I am very spoiled by all the local elderly gents who bring me tons and tons of tomatoes, apples, peaches etc. every year.
      OMG you made me laugh! I'm bad but not that bad!

        Don't worry Meeko-I can't grow anything either. Big black thumbs here. I DID kill a cactus many years ago. Put it on a shelf and apparently forgot about it. When we moved a year later, I found it! Ooops.

        I would love a garden. We have a fairly good sized yard, but it is full of trees. There is only one section that gets a good amount of sun and that is on the boulevard where people wait for the city bus. Every year I say I'm going to rent a plot from the city and every year I forget to call. When I remember to call, they are all full. One day I'll convince dh that we should cut down 2 trees on the side of the house for a garden, but it'll cost big $$$$. I think our neighbor said it was over $1,000 to take down one of his. I don't think I can produce enough food to cover the cost of removing 2 of them!

          After being written up last year for tomato plants, I'm not planting anything this year.

              I think I will add broccoli, cauliflower and cucumbers this year. Maybe some lettuce & kale. I forgot to mention in my 1st post that I have a huge herb garden. I plant a ton of basil-different varieties, cilantro, parsley, dill, rosemary, & oregano. I dry it for use all winter and make a lot of pesto!

              I would like to try onions and garlic...not sure how to do that, I think garlic gets planted in the fall? I will have to google that

                I'll take a photo when they are in bloom (first the snow has to melt )

                here is an old one from a few years ago

                The neighbour with the grass has now covered his yard with pebble stone.
