All you folks who are going to go out and entertain yourselves with a fine garden, what are you planting this Spring?

For me, most of the houses I'm looking at have too much lawn.

So I look around and think about what to replace it with, groundcover wise. And a little privacy for the fencing.

Perhaps some English ivy would be good for the see-through fences. Might make good ground cover too.

Flower bulbs and Cherry tomatoes.

In the ground so far- spinach, lettuce, carrots, parsnips, radishes, peas, onions, garlic, beets.

Yet to go in the ground when it warms- peppers, onions, tomatillos, bush beans, pole beans,eggplant, okra, cantaloupe, watermelon, various summer squash, various winter squash, cucuмbers, corn, pumpkins, gourds, potatoes, lots of herbs and flowers.

I was looking at some gigantic sized tomatoes the other day, wondering whether to go for them or the cherries. I'm thinking the cherries..

You sound like you have a really nice garden going jen! What kind of seeds have you got there? Heirloom? Any unusual varieties?

Never heard of tomatillos before!

For me, if it's potatoes, it's got to be red potatoes.

Our harvest was so abundant last year that we won't be planting a garden this year other than a few tomato plants. We will let the ground rest this year.

Nothing. For the second year in a row. :cry: I will garden vicariously through all of you.

In the technology world folks are excited about the potential for at-home personal 3D printers.

You put in the blueprint, out comes what you want!

But really, God gave us seeds already! You put a tiny seed in the ground and out comes whatever you want! From gigantic trees to tiny cherry tomatoes, from herbs to treat diseases, to flowers that the bees make honey from!

Haha, we've got something magnificent enough already! You put it in the ground, and out comes whatever you want!

My landlord wont give me my deposit back if i move out before the lease is up.

Therefore I might plant lots of Catcus plants in the back garden.

I know he will try to remove them.

He will try.

Try and FAIL.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
:cool:
