Me and my mom tried to grow a garden... But we joke about her having the "black thumb"! We had watermelons though! Every other plant died... I'm assuming YOU have a garden?

We have a large garden in our side yard which we plant sweet potatoes and onions, and (this year) garlic, and tomatoes, and lettuce, and (usually, but not this year) corn, and Irish potatoes.

We used to have a vegetable garden, but we don't anymore. Now we have half-wild Juliet and cherry tomatoes that come out of the ground and bear fruit.

Currently one of my jobs has me working at a greenhouse off-campus. It’s small, but I love it.
At home for a while, we grew some herbs and such on our balcony. I always grew oregano bc it survived my forgetfulness with watering.
And before that, we had a shared garden with another family where we grew tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, green beans, wildflowers, watermelon...it was a lot of fun!

I have been put in charge of our garden this year. I was responsible last year too, but this year I have it all by myself. It's a fairly large garden, and it will be a lot of work to take care of the whole thing. I'll probably have another paying job too, but I don't know how many days I'll be working that. So that's going to take more time. With the garden and another job, I really don't know how much time I'll have to be on here with you guys. I hope it all works out though.

Yes. My family has a garden. My Mom lets me have1/4 of it to plant anything I want. I am planting a flower garden this year.

Sounds interesting! What flowers?

Cherry tomatoes are one of my favorite garden plants. I love to plant one in the middle of my plot so I can eat from it later in the year as I’m working in the area.

I planted a garden one year... it didn’t work out so well. The weeds thrived in my garden though. Almost were as tall as me.

Shadow_Darksong 2021-03-25 13:42:20 UTC #12

LOL. Same here...

Eerie_Coppernight 2021-03-25 13:43:03 UTC #13

Gardens need attention. They won't do much good on their own. You need to pull the weeds out.

Shadow_Darksong 2021-03-25 13:45:44 UTC #14

But we DID! and they still overtook!

My father has a wonderful tiller that turned the soil into roughly a powder. A BCS 725. It was his fathers before him.

Weeding is an everyday job...

Hanna_Brassheart 2021-03-26 00:54:45 UTC #17

I really would love to try my hand at gardening sometime! For my birthday a couple of years ago, I received a spider plant which I’ve managed to keep alive despite my subpar watering skills. Would anyone happen to have tips and/or advice for an aspiring gardener such as myself?

John_Otterblast 2021-03-26 01:02:04 UTC #18

Don't set your plant on fire, do not throw it out the window, do not cut it in half with a chain saw, and unless it is a cactus, watering more than like three times a year is good for it.

Elizabeth_Newroad 2021-03-26 01:39:46 UTC #19

Don’t kill it and don’t let weeds choke it to death.

Jayhawk_Greencape 2021-03-26 01:49:06 UTC #20

You break garlic into individual cloves before planting.
