Spring is back and I am itching to get back in the garden. I have heard on the news that seed sales are up 20%+ this year and that home vegetable gardening is making a huge comeback (the bad economy has, no doubt, something to do with it).
So, whether you have a large in-ground garden or just a few containers on a balcony, what are you planting this year? Feel free to post pictures...
This year I am attempting to grow (almost) all my vegetables in containers. I already planted: strawberries, lettuce, swiss chard, herbs (basil, chives, thyme, parsley, cilantro, mint, lemon balm, coriander), radishes, carrots, beets and turnips. I am waiting a few more weeks before planting tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. In late May to early June, I plan on replacing the radishes/carrots/lettuce/beets/turnips with green and wax beans as well as zucchinis.
So let's hear it from all of you green thumbs!
