What are you planting this year? ๐Ÿ‘€

[i][c=BF0080]My baby plants.. I think 5 different tomato varieties, a baby cucumber, a couple of red peppers(skipped the hot this year b/c I wasnโ€™t using them so much last year), basil, oregano, parsley, mint, chocolate mint, rosemary, lavender, marigolds everywhere, humming bird flowers I think it is that my neighbor gave me seeds for ๐Ÿค” and I think thatโ€™s it besides my front garden of regular plants in the ground. [/c][/i]

I miss having a proper garden, that looks so good!

I will probably end up planting some herbs this year, maybe in with my nasturtiums, but Iโ€™m out of space for anything bigger

My basil is thriving,got my first batch of pesto last week.win.
I saved this one Chinese Lantern thing that I got from Mike when we dug up his septic tank by moving it to a pot in back out of the shade,so that feels good,it was touch and go for a while.
My dwarf Meyer Lemon is struggling and I'm not happy with that.I killed my awesome one trying to move it when the previous neighbor put in this huge stupid fence,apparently you need to dig way deeper than I did to transplant those.Now I get it.
My war with the Ivy on the east side was won,finally,with a neat new stone patio space and 2 tomatoes as showpieces,also a tall blossoming onion and a red geranium that washed up in the flood.
In other news,the new neighbors will learn how much debris their fancy fence will be trapping next time the river rises. I grew potatoes and garlic in the wine barrels that are now too shady for tomatoes,looking pretty good.I have another barrel and planter box begging for spinach or lettuce...we'll see if I get around to that. What else...? succulents,catcti,some assorted fancy flowers I forget the names of.Oh,and the Calla Lillies went berserk this year to reward me for destroying that massive English Ivy encroachment.I think I killed the grapevine in the process,but it looks cool anyway.Maybe it will rally and surprise me.
Oh,and my rosemary is over 10 feet tall-yowzah.
MellyMel22 ยท F
@dubkebab [i][c=BF0080]Oh wow, nice! Sounds like you have your hands full with those! [/c][/i]
dubkebab ยท 51-55, M
@MellyMel22 It looks better than ever.
I got halfway cleared out nicely on the west side and gave up,though. I had the backyard fully cleared and mostly free of blackberries,put in an ace little firepit and had it looking quite civilized.Then I was like,ok,I'm on a roll,now I fix up those poor neglected drums,which got discouraging,so now they sit in piles in the rain next to another broken weed wacker.But yeah,the one side is kind of a showpiece.
Plus I found a nice chunk of petrified wood and a huge maybe 3lb leopardskin jasper digging at work building a retaining wall and thusly my rock walls remain the finest on the block.
MellyMel22 ยท F
[i][c=800055]That sounds great! I hope you continue to enjoy it all! I know I will here ๐Ÿ˜ [/c][/i]@dubkebab

@Barny52 a trucker picked me up hitch-hiking one time and he had said to the waitress at the truck stop that he planted his ex-wives in the garden and without missing a beat she smiled and said: "I hope they grow!"
Looking great. Have fun and may you have a wonderful harvest.

What kinds of Tomatoes do you have? Are any of them heirloom varieties? :D

I love the yellow or green or deep violet, almost black tomatoes; they look very pretty in a salad.
My parents had them in their garden!
MellyMel22 ยท F
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON [i][c=BF0080]Well when I started planting i was irritated remembering neither place had the yellow pair or Italian parsley, so when I was done with the cucumber plant I was working on I told myself Iโ€™m going to try another place. It was also necessary to go there to see if they had the same trelliss I got last year that I didnโ€™t wanna take from the tomato plants this year. So luckily they had the trelliss I wanted and the yellow pear tomatoes and Italian parsley! I was so glad o went! Those yellow pear are so good! I got so many from the little plant last year(it was my first year trying them).

Thatโ€™s great your mom did that! I would try it, but I honestly wouldnโ€™t know how to! Or if theyโ€™d grow in time. Iโ€™m not sure what the difference is, if I said baby I meant to clarify theyโ€™re tiny ๐Ÿคญ [/c][/i]
@MellyMel22 Yes they are so tiny and adorable. I do miss them. I will be keeping my eye out for them.

Thank you for your post,
it has brought back memories and inspired me. ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒผ

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON [i][c=BF0080]Thank you for sharing too, always nice to hear from you! Here are two I didnโ€™t know the names of. I didnโ€™t put the other tab in b/c I couldnโ€™t remember which one I planted was it ๐Ÿคญ Thatโ€™s a first for me ๐Ÿ˜…[/c][/i]

wildbill83 ยท 36-40, M
the usual; potatoes, tomatoes, corn, beans, squash, peppers, lettuce, pumpkins, watermelon, etc.

tried doing various herbs, but all died 'cept the rosemary
MellyMel22 ยท F
@wildbill83 [i][c=BF0080]Well the ground here is horrible with roots. It took me years to get a decent amount of plants in the ground given the roots I had to torture myself trying to get rid of ๐Ÿคฃ Hereโ€™s the other side of my front which my neighbor asked me to do for her and I said oh hell no, Iโ€™m sorry, not doing that again. This doesnโ€™t show whatโ€™s underground either ๐Ÿ˜ณ

@MellyMel22 You can do pot gardening on Amazon you can buy these garden bags. So neat the things you can do now. Zegos Grow Bags 5 Gallon 10 Packs Fabric Plant Pots with Heavy Duty Thickened Nonwoven Fabric and Handles for Indoor&Outdoor Garden Plants, Vegetable, Flowers, Potato
MellyMel22 ยท F
@OceanRoses [i][c=BF0080]Thatโ€™s a good idea, but there isnโ€™t a great amount of sun in front too. I put my cucumber plant out there in one spot that I think itโ€™s the most sun, but if I donโ€™t see a change shortly Iโ€™ll bring it back to my patio and crowded some more. The problem is it doesnโ€™t look so crowded because they havenโ€™t grown yet, once my plants grow it looks like a forest my neighbors come looking like theyโ€™re there just for scenery ๐Ÿคฃ I caught an older woman taking pictures of all my plants last year I thought she was trying to get me fined and I came out and I was like are you taking pictures of my patio and sheโ€™s said itโ€™s your plants theyโ€™re so beautiful I wanted to show my friend that I told about them. Then I felt bad ๐Ÿ˜…[/c][/i]

Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, zucchini squash. Lots of marigolds too! As you likely know marigolds are great around tomatoes.
MellyMel22 ยท F
@BackyardShaman [i][c=BF0080]Nice! If theyโ€™d survive underground where I live, Iโ€™d do zucchini and more! And yes, marigolds are great in more than one way! They are the only flower that Iโ€™ll replant ever year in the ground in front of my place(they donโ€™t come back here, Iโ€™m assuming theyโ€™re similar to the veggies being done in the ground here. The tree roots are horrible. Iโ€™m surprised my other plants return every year. [/c][/i]
atlantic59 ยท 61-69, M
gorgeous, and great! , I got tomatoes, squash, spinach and lots of hot peppers, cauliflower, and some things that I don't know cause a girlfriend from away who starts everything indoors and ultimately doesn't have room for,comes and plants them here. I know I will wish I learned how to can, like my mother always did. She always had a huge garden and everything was utilized
