that is just to get me started

this is my first time doing a veggie garden

I'm doing bell peppers, sweet banana peppers, sweet william tomatoes, sweet 100 tomatoes, white radishes, and egyptian walking onions.

My veggie garden has pink caspian, mexico midget, adelia, brandywine, heartland, and ace 55 tomatoes. It also has california wonder and big chili peppers, bush sugar baby watermelon, jack o'lantern pumpkin, and about a gazillion boston pickling cukes for the trellis. My melons are as follows: persian small, honey rock, and hale's best, also green machine melon, casaba honey dew (if it ever sprouts), cilantro, celery. I have some flowers in there too, for pollination, including (but not limited too) marigolds, nasturtiums, candytufts, a sunflower, zinnias, coneflowers, catnip, basil, and gaillardia. And I think that's everything.

now that's a veggie garden. It sounds wonderful.

This is a great site lots of good info first I would like to say Hi to every one and hope to learn and add some thing of value. This season I put in 130 tomato plants, 300 to 350 Texas 1015 onions, 60 squash, 20 eggplants, 6 bell peppers, 6 hills of cucumber about 40 plants, 3 hills of cantaloupe about 20 plants, 3 hills of watermelon about 20 plants and a 8 foot by 8 foot flower garden. We already picked 2 milk crates full of squash last week

Mark, what are Dutch onions? I've never heard of them.

That's not a garden that's a farm lol. Way to go louiaianabob! Welcome to a gardener's forum. I read your list twice just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. That's one huge garden. Tell me all about it.

We have about 10 acres and it takes up about a acre my crew consist of a 8 year old a 6 year old and a 4 year old ( grand kids ) we use a Ford 3000 tractor and a troy built work horse tiller it mainly is for the family and church friends but my mother in law lives in a fixed income apartment complex and I give it to her and her friends most grew up on gardens and miss out on it in there later years I’ am known as the green guy. One Saturday I showed up with 11 large garbage’s of turnip, mustard and collar greens and it took 2 hour to give them away that was my mother law’s job

That sounds wonderful. I give my extra plants away at church too. It feels wonderful to be able to help out.

Ok here's pictures.


It was 9" across. I used Cow poop and rain.

great pic's you have the touch

Nope just Cow poop and rain!!!

I added about 4" of cow poop last fall.
I have an unending supply. The guy has 3 or 4 tractor trailer loads, most of it is years old, and most of it has hay mixed with it.

this is my first time posting here.Am a very keen gardener and have had a great variety of fruit and veg for past 3 years now.The thing is I am in the south of Ireland .We seem to grow a lot of similar foods .I am growing some pumpkin plants quite well outside too.Would love to hear from other gardeners about
tips and chats
Oh yea ,I have in my garden ...cabbage broccoli carrot Khol- Rabi onion tomatoe peppers chillies courgette pumpkin beans cucumber asparagus rhubarb butternut squash corn and an assortment of herbs !! I love it all

Welcome I hope you like it here as much as I do. I curious about the courgette could you discribe it? I've never hear of it. Althought I did get to like kholrabi when I was overseas in Okinawa Japan.

I think courgette is what we here call zucchini?

hello i have a question when did u start your veggie garden
the reason for my question is cause this is my first time doing one and i just planted my seeds and some i an doing in planter

that is so sweet of u

well today me and my kids and my adobted grandmother planted some watermelon,pumpkins ,peas

i am going to try and get pics tomorrow of the whole garden there is 13 plots where the city of dayton gives us to garden than the mayor of dayton comes down @ the end of summer and we have a big cook out

when you start your garden depends on what growing zone you are located in. I think Bill has a map of the zones on the website somewhere.

It also depends on what you are growing. For example my white radishes like to be put in the ground two weeks before the last frost date for my area. While tomatoes shouldn't be put outside until two weeks after the last frost date for my area. While Garlic should be planted in the fall since it needs a cold period to create cloves.

I'm doing square foot gardening this year, so I have quite a list of things I'm trying:

Bell pepper (Bell Boy x 2)
Onions (Red Baron x 9 & a white one x 9)
Iceberg Lettuce (x4)
Beetroot (x16)
Savoy Cabbage (x4)
Romano Cauliflower (x4)
Sprouting Broccoli (x2)
Wild Rocket (x4 as catch crop with Broccoli)
Peas (Feltham First x 8 & Sugar Snap x8)
French Beans (Purple Queen x 8)
Tomatoes (x2 -- if they survive, see topic in Tomato forum :-(
Plus french marigold for toms.

all the above in a 6 x 4 foot box!

I also have 12 sweetcorn plants, with 2 courgette (zucchini) plants inter-planted.

And I've got 2 cucumber plants, and a few cut-and-come-again lettuce plants too :-)

It's been quite a busy spring dealing with all those seedlings! Bearing in mind I only have 2 small windowsills to germinate on :-)

that is a project but it sounds like you are doing great. Keep us posted please on your progress.

I'm also doing SFG this year. I have sugar snap peas, arugula, spinach, bush beans, Danver's carrots, Lady Bell green peppers, an assortment of hot peppers, swiss chard, broccoli, green ice, buttercrunch and romaine lettuce, 4 tomato plants (Big Mama, 4th of July, Burger and Health kick) along with basil and rosemary.

Unfortunately my melons and cucumbers bit the dust early. It was down to 35 here Tuesday night and I think that did them in.

Pictures to follow in a couple of weeks.

Here is what is in my garden;
Cherokee purple Tomatoes
Rutgers Tomatoes
Giant cherry Tom (in pot on deck)
Vidalia Onions
Yellow onions
potatoes
Bush cucumbers
Spinach
An asparagus bed
Chives
2 kinds of Sage

That is it for now--- but I want at least to add peppers and to my herb bed also.

I envy you your Vidalia Onions. Those are terrific.
