I'm an experience vegetable gardener. I grew up on an large dairy farm. Learned to garden from my aunties & Grams. There was an acre for the garden. Grew all kinds of vegetables. Today I like to grow: beans gr & wax, peas, squashes gr & yellow, beets.Tomatoes 3 kinds: cherry, romas & beef streak. Heirloom is another favorite . Cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, carrots. I also grow , winter squashes, butter nut, spaghetti . I start canning in late Aug -Nov.. Tomatoes,carrots,beans. Where I live I get 2 of everything in one growing season. Another words, I've a few beans & peas starter plants to be put in late June. which means I'll have a 2nd crop at the end of the spring-summer season. I've got fresh beans & peas for Thanksgiving.The rest is of the crop is canned. So, my family will have freshly canned vegetables. This year,will try blanching & freezing !!!

We moved this spring and were nt able to start a garden right away, so we improvised! On our deck we have three types of tomatoes in large containers. I also have lavender, basil, rosemary, tarragon and thyme in window boxes on the back of the house. Citrus mint in pots and bell peppers in pots. They are doing beautifully! — Anonymous	06/11/2012 - 11:38am
