What does your garden grow?

[Bitter Ashes]

The inch thick permafrost of the misty moors of Yorkshire has finaly started to thaw and I'm getting ready to get my greens in the ground.

This year I'm going to go for:
- Spuds (always a good one)
- Onions (because I use loads in my cooking)
- Radishes (something different to add to a salad)
- Carrots (Again, used lots in my cooking)
- Broad beans
- Cabbages (If cooked properly go REALLY well with the traditional British "meat and two veg")
- Sweet corn
- Chillies (got these sat on my windowsill along with various herbs)

I don't have a plot, I live on the 8th floor of a tower block and don't have a balcony, so it's going to be interesting finding places to stick them, but there's plenty of disused ground out there waiting for the touch of the garden fork. So wish me luck!

How about everyone else?

lettuce, kale, collards, tomatoes, peppers, sun choke/jeruselum articokes, we gots some baby citrus and olive trees, rosemary, mint.

oh and honey bees.
and multiple species of each type of veggie.

Bees!!! I want your garden! What's the chances of the US goverment allowing me emmigrate to claim it you reckon? lol

Nothing, because when you live at the 4th floor in a neighborhood full of highrise buildings you don't have a garden.

I live on the 8th floor of a tower block, but I mange it :P

Herbs and salad things you can grow in a large dish, like a cat litter tray filled with compost. Potatoes actualy grow best in a dustbin filled with soil. You've just got to be more creative. Beans LOVE growing up windows and tomatoes will only grow at all indoors in colder places like Yorkshire :)

Other stuff is geurilla planted around the town centre's abandoned and unloved flower beds.

Or just a pot with some herbs in the window. At the farm we have a whole container garden section that has a sign, You can grow food almost anywhere!. And its true. maybe you have a good window for a window box.

Spuds, onions, leek, garlic, carrots, cabbages, cucumbers, strawberries, raspberries, some blackcurrant. Mostly used for cooking, the berries I use for jams and juices. I live in a flat right in the middle of the city, but I rent a little plot a few kilometers away from this nice little part of the town with lots of green areas and hippies farming stuff.

Ooh! I forgot about my blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes! Picked one of each from the £1 shop a few months back and had my first green leaves appearing on the redcurrant a few weeks back. I think the blackcurrant may not have survived my stupid early ideas. I thought it'd be clever to grow the damn thing in a bucket, forgot to put holes in the bottom and then threw old food on it to compost without waiting for it to rot first. I know I know. Silly silly silly. Fingers crossed that it pulls through now that I've put things right.

The girlfriend's garden has a few different herbs; several rosemary plants, some curry plants, some oregano (not doing very well), some thyme and some mint (one of which is an apple mint and the other spearmint).

If I had a garden I'd probably grow potatoes and leeks, that alone would be a good, if simple, base for some curried veg or summit.

I know about that frost. It killed just about everything in my greenhouse. But now everything’s started to warm up (a bit)I can get started on some spuds and sweet corn and beans and .... What do you do with any surplus (gluts) if you have any? I used to swap mine for eggs but the bloke next door had a fox attack so that knackered that. He can still have my stuff anyway, just no fresh eggs. :(

Haha! No freakin' way! That's awesome.

Thankfully I live in an area that is pretty temperate all-year round so we have a virtually unlimited growing season. Anything but the most temperature sensitive plants grow here.

I'm trying to get a good set of tomato plants going with mixed results.

I have about four varieties of chilies growing, we have a rosemary bush the size of a freaking truck, and an orange as well as tangerine tree. Neither of the trees put out fantastic or great quantities of fruit.

We have several trees growing in the backyard that produce a very odd sort of berry that we cant really identify, it doesnt seem edible, but it produces a prodigious amount of the berries.

don't have a garden :( have to go to the park...
