Will you be growing anything in your garden or allotment?

Question

Lets cheer ourselves up by planning for long summer days and warm evenings in the garden/allotment.

Answer 1

Ooooh boy... I have so many seeds this year I don't know what I am going to do with all of them! I am starting them in the house/greenhouse this year, and have orders from family and friends for some plants already! I've got a big old list of everything I'm planting on my garden blog, but some highlights include installing a butterfly/hummingbird wildflower garden, digging a bigger vegetable plot for all those seeds, and making my small area into just herbs! I like growing my own spices and make dill pickles in the fall. We're also trying our own Jack-O-Lanterns this year!

This bitter cold is miserable, I've been looking at my seed catalogs a lot. Also, Meijer, Walmart and Walgreens have some of their gardening implements and seeds already out. I went for a walk through there yesterday at Meijer- smells like summer over there :)

Answer 2

I have already prepared troughs for runner beans,they are about the easiest thing to grow.I will also be having a go at tomatoes this year. My favourites,though not vegetables, are sweet peas and nasturtiums,I grow them every year.They really make me smile.The scent from a bunch of cut sweet peas can fill a room,divine!
