*I purchased  tomato,  sweet pepper, and strawberry growing kits at Wal*Mart for $1.99 each. I am planning on planting these with my nephew in the spring.

My stepfather built me a nice, new porch this past summer. I hope to put some planters on it next spring. Berries and short growing herbs would grow well in them.

I will also be purchasing more large planters to grow some container gardening in. I plan on doing something like this:

Containers # 1 & 2:

zuchinni

romaine lettuce

carrots

Containers # 3 & 4:

tomatoe

another type of lettuce

early carrots

Containers # 5 & 6:

cucumber bush

cabbage

early carrots

 

I would also like to have a couple of beds for:

Bed # 1:

beans

peas

parsley

can I grow radichio (sp?) here?

garlic

onions?

late carrots

Bed # 2:

little pumpkins

 

 

I live on a very small lot, so my gardening takes the form of small garden beds and containers. I have chives and strawberries that always grow here, as well as some flowers.

In the past, I have grown parsley, tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, and small pumpkins.

                                            

This year I am planning on trying to grow other things as well. Here is my plan, though I may have to change some things.

* Parsley

* Chamomile

* Lemon Balm

* Lavender

* Thyme

* Mint

* Fennel

* Tomatoes

* Zucchini

* Small Pumpkins

* Cucumbers

* Green Beans

* Peas

I also plan to add more flowers in containers, possibly hanging some of the hangers from the outside of the trailer and the shed.

Out back, I have a few bare spots on the ground next to my trailer where I would like to plant some flowers. I would also like some plants or flowers around my porch, a flower wreath on the door, and hangers on either side of the door. This will all brighten the back up nicely.
