Hello!
Welome to the tribe.
It's a little early out here to realy have garden planted. But we normaly plant a varity of veggies, sage, and this year few winding Pea houses, and morning gloy vines!

snow and mud. Ugh.

the asparagus came up very early, but a frost hit it hard last night. have started (indoors so far) lots of greens like chard, sevral kales, lettuces, rappini and beans. peas are planted but not up yet. will do beets, corn, basil, peppers, squash. I end up growing most of my family's produce.

I like to grow all the plants you've mentioned. You might also want to try Lemon Verbena. I grew it in a pot on the porch. It grew very large, and so very very fragrant! MMMMMMmmmm. I just loved to touch it and smell it. I would scent myself with it! It is just so summery!

Thanks! The only things outside right now are peas (we're in New England) but, we're getting closer to the time when we can start planting the rest. Well, the chives just never seem to die, they come back without doing anything to them. My peppermint is the same way. Unfortunately, DH didn't get the rosemary in before the winter and that's gone. Time to plant new ones.

Hello and welcome

I have a patio garden. . . apartments you know. . . all in pots ( which can be a challenge). I have a pomegranate sapling grove, sage, tomatoes, red peppers. grapes. st johns wort, juniper, pea vine, palma rosa, split leaf philidendren, lemon tree sapling and ivy. I am hoping to get a hold of some mint soon as well as planting my seeds for corn, lettuce, onion and some green onions. I have to wait for it cool off here in the desert before I plant my cilantro and chamomile. . . they shrivel other wise.

I live in the woods above the Russian River. Unfortunately, I not only don't have much of a yard (It's extremely steep, here, and you can stand upright and kiss the dirt.) but we get almost no sun on the deck. About all that grows up here is ivy. I've tried a few herbs and plants, but they mostly die from lack of light, or grow very spindly (same reason.) So I won't be growing much of a garden unless we buy a house in a sunnier location.

Hello,
This year we have sage, oregano, cilantro (which the snails can't seem to get enough of), mint and an aloe. We are planning to grow some tomatoes but haven't actually planted them yet.

Waltherchic welcome,
I don't have a garden (live in an apt. building in the city). But if I did garden I would grow lots of fresh veggies and herbs. Some flowers but I love the idea of being able to pick your own fresh herbs and veggies and using them. I lived in Queens for a few months back in the early 90's with a friend and we had a small space on the side of the house where she was growing some herbs, tomatoes and a few other veggies and it was fun to be able to pick them and cook with them the same day or make a fresh salad from them.

I can't grow things in boxes here due to space limitations, a cat that may eat things and not having even a way to do a window box so it would prove very differcult to cultivate a garden in an apartment but there are some brownstones too and I can see out my window the wonderful roof top spaces they have where they have gardens and would I have loved to have lived where I had that for garden use and just my own private space for outdoor rituals and a like...

All my garden grows in pots as I now live in East Oakland.

Doesn't stop my gardening, however!

I have two kinds of tomatoes out front--a roma and a Better Bush. That lives near a pot containing chinese foxgloves, purple petunias and sweet allysum. (spelling?)

In back it's a riot of pots. Everything from sweet bedstraw for May wine to ferns to japanese maples (coral bark) to digitalis to oregano--oh, you get the idea.
