Fucking GMO's

[bigrock74]

Scary stuff, guys! I am absolutely expanding my vegetable and fruit garden this year. For those of you in the States, which is the majority, you need to watch this!

What all is everyone planting this year?

I've got the following growing
-Onions
-Lettuce
-Summer Squash
-4 different types of tomatoes
-3 differnt peppers
-1 black berry bush
-Fresh Herbs (basil, mint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, chives)

I bought green beans seeds and corn...I've never grown those before so I'm a bit nervous

I've only got broccoli, jalapeños, and red and green bell peppers. There's some decorative bushes I want to remove and replace with berry bushes (blue, black, rasp, whatever I can get). It's my first time really trying, so I'm keeping it easy for now.

[bigrock74]

We plant red and green peppers, jalapeños, leaf lettuce, spinach, 2 types of tomatoes, cabbage, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and herbs. I plan on adding cucumbers, broccoli and corn this year.

I am hoping maybe I'll have room to do something small when we move to a bigger place. I am not sure how hard it would be to keep things alive in the desert though.

Well aren't ya'll just little green thumbers. I don't have anything. I wish I could throw a garden in this area of useless space on the side of my house but it's on the north side and gets minimal light. Plus I'm afraid my dog and cats would fertilize everything. BLugh.

We typically grow bell and jalapeño peppers, lots of tomatoes, several varieties of squash, eggplant, cucumbers, and herbs. We have raised beds that look almost exactly like yours, jlhv1909. They were kits from Home Depot and very easy to build.

^^This pisses me off. Fuck Gerber. I'm switching to Happy Baby puffs now. That's what I get for trying to save a little money. I know better.

We have tomatoes, zucchini, peas, cucumber, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, and hopefully lettuce, spinach, basil, and carrots (those are all seeds that haven't sprouted yet) We have a small yard so we use the square foot gardening method (in raised boxes). So far, so good, although my garden died when I had a new baby at the hottest part of the year last year!

[sararl07]

Last year I didn't even try...just did my basil and 2 tomatoes

My existing non-edible plants will just be happy if I can keep them alive this year. I used to love gardening, but I just don't have the time. I don't generally plant anything edible, though.
