I have this amaaaaazing sunflower...love them because they are like a sun compass. The flowerhead will turn to follow the sun throught the day....it grew up from where birdseed falls outta the feeder...lol

some potatoes, tomatoes, flowers, mint, herbs...

anu other green thumbs on here?

Sounds sweet (((( sweet))))
Wish I had a garden

Sorry, no garden here as I live in an apartment..However I do have a pool right outside my front door...lol

I used to garden, mostly lots of flowers everywhere, some veggies.. I miss my flowers..

I was wondering if there was a gardening thread on here somewhere.. I had Peonies come up good finally after 3 years, but with all the rain here they pretty much flat now!

your peonies will perk back up! I used to have a yard full of them :)

Gardens are fun !

I also live in an apt - I have a little garden on my patio. It's not very big - by August it will be a jungle cuz it gets so crowded!

last year I grew pumpkins lol

it's easy to put tomato plants in large pots!!! and they are so much yummier than in the store (they are picked green and ripen in transit so never taste as good)

in fact I need to pick a few tomato stakes somewhere today, I used to get my own from the boys scrap wood but don;t have that option now....wait.....we're gonna be partying tonight.....hmmmm.....tomato stakes??? :)

weeds....and 'nO' not the kind you smoke

ahhhh OK - thought maybe you gotta de peacea pipea lol :)

well I do have a 'peacea' alright

I grow rosemary and sage around my deck. I recently stuffed a chicken with the fresh sage and it tasted like chit.

I recently learned that the ornamental sage plant is not the same plant that you cook with.

No garden :-(

But I have all the makings of a greenhouse,
cedar planks for siding, old sliding glass
doors for the roof, just need the grunt work.

Then I will be back to ask what to do next :-)

oh goodnesss that's hilarious

sage is a strong herb you want just a small amount - combine it in with rice or bread cubes

and sprinkle some on boiled potatoes

make a safe/garlic rub for the skin of chicken AND (believe it or not) for foot odor :)

(but don't put your feet in the chicken)

Pick up a perennial book. Check off about 90% of the pictures (as long as they are from zone 5 or less). I have them in my garden now, or have had them and for some reason couldn't grow them, or decided not to grow them for some reason or another. You'd be surprised what you can fit into a small spaces

I've probably posted these links of my garden areas before at some point in the past. And they are older garden pics from 2011 and I think 2010, but the flowers still come up (or some have to be re-planted each year), and still about the same. I have only added a few that aren't in there. But you'll see why it was too many to list But I'd love to see other Mingler's gardens (always open for a garden idea)or maybe even some of your special flowers

Seems I didn't create an easy link But all you have to do is highlight the above and then right click it, and then press the "go to" in that menu. Hope that works instead of having to type it all in

I live in a small apt complex (about 14 apartments) and we have a community area behind the complex with small area of lawn and garden area this year so far I've planted 1 cherry tomato plant, zucchini, yellow squash, lemon cucumbers, bush cucumbers, spaghetti squash, just planted bok choy, spinach, and swiss chard I keep finding unused garden space so I just go ahead and plant.........love to garden.

You have a better vegetable garden than I have. I only have a 4ftx4ft box for my tomato plants. Although pumpkin seeds from my compost started to grow so I'm allowing them to grow along the outside of the box. I wish I could grow more veggies, but my flowers require too much space and I have very little space for anything else There is nothing like home grown veggies, freshly picked You are lucky

I get all my veggies from the local farmer here. Got some Asiatic lillies starting to bloom & my 4 foot purple rose of Sharon bush starting too. I'll post some pics later tonite..
