unfortunately, i only have room for a windowsill herb garden...so jealous!

Sweet peas, kentucky wonder beans, cukes, yellow and zucchini squash, 5 kinds of tomatoes, blueberries, carrots, radishes, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, basil, mexican marigold, parsley: flat leaf and curly, spearmint, marjoram, Mexican oregano, italian oregano, 5 kinds of peppers and i have watermelon and pumpkin seeds planted at my son's house because he has more room.

We don't have a garden as such but I plan to start one this year with some potted tomatoes.

I have planter boxes, now if i can get my lazy butt to do this I will do herbs like cilantro, mint, basil, chives, and maybe some heirloom tomatos and peppers.

Tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. I'll be losing a bit of space this year because part of our fence blew down in a windstorm and DH will be fixing that and digging and generally making a mess in areas where I'd normally be planting at least a few things.

The peppers all go in pots, some of the tomatoes do, and the herbs go all over the place.

Hmmm...maybe some cukes, too.

Lettuce has never done well for me and I planted celery one year and it was like gnawing on a branch. Ugh.

Eh, I always say I'm done, but then I go to the garden center...

I've got a pretty big habanero that made it through the winter in the house, so that'll be producing pretty quickly. It's some kind of wild yellow hananero from Costa Rica, I believe.

i'm in south louisiana and have garlic, bell peppers and tomatoes growing in large containers on the deck, the highs here are almost 80 degrees right now and the tomatoes and bell peppers are already beginning to produce. garlic is like a child, it takes about 9 months, planted it in october and it still needs a few more months.

Cilantro and serrano peppers!

This year, I bought one of those upside down tomato planters. They are doing great!! Also...my son wanted pumpkins, so there's that...and also habaneros, green bells, piquin, jalapeno, pasilla, and Anaheim peppers. Also the garlic that grows wild in my yard, next to my sage, chamomile, rosemary and mint.

Currently growing seedlings on a sunny windowsill indoors for a salsa garden. Only Roma tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and garlic. Because this is my first garden effort at our new place and I'm limited for time, I'm just planting in a small 2' x 6' x 11" raised bed. We have "high deer pressure" and tons of rabbits and squirrels, so I don't want to go crazy and invest too much and then have half of it get eaten. It'll be a test season, so wish me luck. Hope all of your gardens grow great!

I planted some strawberry plants for next year. Have broccoli, calaflower,
spinach, cucumbers, sweet corn, and lettuce. string beans and the radishes are up. Have to get pepper plants and tomato plants.

In the past, I've had very mixed luck with growing vegetables on my patio. The problem is light. I'm in a condo that runs north-south and my back "yard" (and I use the term loosely) gets solid shade until about 11-12:00. At that point it gets full sun for about 3 hours before the trees and building behind mine return it to solid shade. The first year I planted a tomato (Better Bush I think) and it did OK. We got some tomatoes, small but good. I tried it for the next two years with out any success.

This year, I'm going to try growing tomatoes in the little flowerbed in front of the condo. It gets sun from just after dawn to about noon, then solid shade the rest of the day.

we just put in a small 8 by 3 garden next to our side walk - we have a postage stamp sized yard. We just put in cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, spring onions, dill, thyme, marjoram, basil, tarragon, mint, oregano, and swiss chard. I can't wait :)

This is my first big vegetable garden. I've grown all kinds of herbs over the years (I have a small sage and flower garden with six varieties of sage, 4 kinds of thyme and several varieties of mint). But I also have six types of basil, rosemary, majoram, cilantro, chervil, oregano, tarragon, stevia, chamomile, parsley, dill, and many types of lavendar. I'm always on the hunt for more varieties of any herb that I'm not already growing.

My husband built four 4x8 raised beds and I have busy tending them. It has been incredibly satisfying to go out and check the progress of the seeds and seedlings. I even ordered a (vintage-looking) Victory Garden sign to post in my gorgeous garden.

I live in northern California, so I have already been harvesting lettuce, mesclun, chard, arugula, radishes, and spinach. I have some brocolli raab that is almost ready. I have planted seven types of tomatoes, peas, cauliflower, melons, beans, eggplant, potatoes (!), 3 kinds of carrots, beets, scallions, cucumbers, celery, leeks, zucchini (ronde and traditional), strawberries, yellow, red and jalapeno peppers, fennel and I'm sure something else I'm forgetting.

I also interplanted nasturium, which are already incredible, violas, flowering kale, marigolds, alyssum, sweet peas, larkspur, and delphinium. It's starting to look like a real grown-up garden. I feel really fortunate in this time of uncertainty. I look forward to sharing my bounty with family, friends and the local food bank.

engmcmuffin, I should try the giant tupperware! Thats a great tip, thanks!

My balcony in my apartment is about the size of a single bathroom so I have to use my space wisely.

I stick to fresh herbs mostly: chives, sage, basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley (flat leaf), cilantro--CAN'T WAIT EITHER!!!! YAY!

Since I'm a city mouse, I can only have my Aerogarden. I'm just waiting for a new pump and then basil, chives, thyme and mint, here I come! My brother the country mouse promised me some raspberry bushes in his yard when I come up to visit. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

I've a tiny garden vegetable plot with shallots, arugula, radicchio, rapini, fennel and french breakfast radishes, plus green onions.

In the herb garden I have: rosemary, tarragon, thyme, moroccan mint, lemon verbena, sorrel, oregano, dill, parsley and cat nip, for the cats of course (who in fact prefer the dill...)

The last two years I've planted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, butternut squash, watermelon, lettuce, basil, rosemary, thyme, tarragon, sage, parsley, cilantro, green and red peppers, and some type of hot pepper. This year I'm also going to try leeks and maybe garlic and brussels sprouts. This is far than one person can eat, but it's all stuff I love and I get a huge thrill when I see that something I planted is actually growing!

the tomatoes, basil and lettuce seeds went in today. once they germinate and i can transplant them into bigger planters, i'll start the rest of the herbs.

i used plastic egg cartons and punched a bunch of drainage holes in the bottom. filled the cells with dirt, and these are my seed starting flats!
