OT From the Garden

I love being able to walk out the back door and pick fresh produce from the garden.  I just picked lemon cukes, green beans and romas.  Got anything growing in your backyard?

 

How beautiful, They look so fresh,colorful and yummy, not to mention healthy. You have inspired me to get out there and get my garden growing again. Thank you, Lyndee

aww thank you :) what do you usually grow?  I'm short a few things this year; eggplants, beets and carrots.  But overall, have a pretty good selection of vegies and herbs<--no grocery shopping--yeah!

Well the last time we planted was about 5 years ago so we've just been growing weeds. Due to a bad back I gave it up, but my back is much better now so I'd like to start growing again, I used to grow carrots, beets, green beans, tomato and spring onion, Rosemary (it's still in there but over grown) and some bulb flowers. I had a huge problem with tomato worms (Ugly) and we grew corn one year but it had worms too. Anyway, I don't even know what to plant at this time of year, any suggestions. Thank you, Lyndee

Thank you, I will check it out, I was just talking to my DH about getting the garden going again he thinks it's a good idea, I think we will be making a trip to Home depot soon. Thanks Again, Lyndee

Corn - fighting the squirrles for it! 2 - varieties of Tomatoes Cukes Beets String Beans Melons Eggplant Basil Parsley Oragano Sugar Snal Peas Zucchini Pears Apricots About to plant spinach and yellow beets for the fall!

darn squirrels...they bury walnuts in my flower beds and eat the strawberries.  You have an awesome garden!

Thanks!  Next year I am trapping the darned squirrles and relocating them . . . to the compost pile!!  Only kidding!  They are gonna go, but I will let them loose at a local park or something.  Then do make a real mess with the walnuts in the Fall too!

We have tomatoes, corn, ruhbarb, zucchini, squash, watermelons, cantelope, and a herb garden.  The only things that are ready right now are the zucchini, herbs and tomatoes.  I have been making zucchini bread the last 2 days, I can't eat it but am giving alot away.  I love the fresh herbs too, it taste so much better than the dried type.  I have always wanted to do green bean, but have never tried.  Maybe next year!
