OT: What are you growing in your garden this year?

[USN_Panther]

Nothing going on in sports right now....

So what are you growing in your garden? What are you going to make with it?

We're entering winter here, so wrapping it up for the year. On the coast here, I can't grow $hit. Basically salad greens, radishes, cabbage and herbs. Planning something awesome next summer as we will be inland and have a big greenhouse. Looking forward to having some garden grown tomatoes and capsicum. Have some trellis space, so going to grow hops for homebrewing.

So what are you growing this summer?

Nothing too exciting as I'm new to it. I've erected a few raised metal beds and am growing beets, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and a few varieties of lettuce. Also started some blueberry plants (we'll see how those do) and strawberries in a raised bed. Most of my lawn gets full sun from about 9 until 5-6 or so, figured I should put it to good use.

Nice!
Sliced beets and fried egg on a cheeseburger is called a "KiwiBurger". Most Americans are like "What?". But trust me. This is good.

Can’t grow anything other than herbs in the sand here on HHI.
Lots of farmers markets here from the inland.
Just had a yellow and tri-colored beet salad. Was amazing.
Can’t get a good tomato in the south. Just don’t taste like Pa. Tomato’s.
Farms on St Helena island open in a couple weeks….excited.

Here on the east coast of the southern south island of NZ, everything is so dependent on your sun and wind exposure. Our house has a great view on all sides....Pacific from the living room and Otago Harbour from the patio and kitchen. The sun shines on the house which is good to keep it warm, but the garden areas are in shadow most of the day. And it pretty much rains here and is cold all the time. But never cold enough to snow. Drive 10 km inland and they get snow in winter, and warmth in summer.
Our new place further south is inland so we will get both. And hopefully tomatoes!

We just made apricot jelly yesterday from our first apricot tree. Next batch next week ..no lemons this year or limes. Pomegranate s and figs looking good. Green onions look good. Everything else so damn hard to grow in a desert. Tomatoes and every other veggies burn.

Fentanyl.

This doesn't surprise me. Do you stake it, or let the vines crawl along the ground?

my winter time project this year was making higher than rabbits can get to raised garden beds out of shipping pallet wood treated with linseed oil I saw on youtube. They came out pretty cool...Internet actually good for something other than sports, gambling and porn, who knew?

...got some arugula doing well along with leaf lettuce and radishes...broccoli doing so so...just put some green beans and cucumbers in. As I am still stuck mentally in the Laurel Highlands I won't put in my tomatoes and peppers until after Memorial day...

anything but zucchini in that I don't want to be one of those folks who are constantly pushing an over abundance of that crap on others by August..."try this this great zucchini bread...2 cups sugar, three tablespoons brown sugar, two tablespoons cinnamon, three cups flour, 6 eggs, a dash of honey and a quarter cup of chopped zucchini".... followed by "isn't zucchini great?"

I have trees everywhere, so my sunny space is limited to pots on my deck. I do grow cilantro, chives, asparagus, red peppers, and strawberries.

I’ve tried tomatoes, but they didn’t get enough light.

I would love to have a garden like my Dad had when I was a kid. He could grow anything and everything.

Beans, Brussels, Romaine and Iceberg lettuce, Zucchini, Cukes, Green peppers, Tomatoes. There's more I just don't remember.

Last year the cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew didn't take. We have two raised beds and a dozen fabric pots for the tomatoes and some beans. My other half does all the work. She calls it her therapy. She will talk to her garden. She probably finds it more gratifying than talking to me.

Would a, "Nip it in the bud", be appropriate here?
