The 'What are you growing?' 2012 Thread

I just starting growing but so far i have peppers, lettuce, spinach, cantaloupe, cucumbers, poppyseed, catnip, oregano, spider lillies, tomatos, cockscomb, sunflower, cacti, thyme, and some other stuff but cant think at the moment. My dad will be building me a green house sometime at the end of this month so hopefully I will have a large collection of plants this season!

 

i want to grow tomatoes and morning glories

 

I have HUGE plans for this year!

Tomatoes - both large & cherry, Cucumbers, Pole Beans, Salad Greens, (it's a mesclun-blend) Carrots, Chives, Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Chocolate-Mint, Lemonbalm, Garlic, Onions, and Jalapeno Peppers.

 

Our new apartment barely has enough room for my houseplants, so I'm kind of screwed there, but I seem to have accidentally cultivated spirulina algae in my fish tank. The fish are ecstatic, but the algae is taking over everything.

 

I just put carrots and potatoes in the ground today. I tilled some compost in the other beds for purple hull peas, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, several types of peppers and herbs.

 

Tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, beans and probably a few more things. We just moved to this rental so I have yet to map out the sunny spots for the garden. The spinach is coming along well in the kitchen window though.

 

I should try growing some flowers again this year if we can buy some (we're a bit poor).

I hope marigold take's a bit more easly than cosmos did. :/ Those weren't very fun when they wouldn't bloom...

 

Onions
Tomatos
Squash-Yellow and Zucinni
Cucumbers
Jalapenos
Will try Ghost peppers again
and give a home to a lot of squash bugs im sure.

 

Tomatoes - Marzanos, Pink Ladies, Brandywine, and a few other heirlooms.. Peppers - Cayanne, Thai Chilis, Jalapenos, Pablano, Red Bell, Green Bell, and im gonna try growing ghost peppers for hot sauce and salsas... Okra, Strawberries, Corn, Onions, Celery, Carrot, maybe another fruit.. we'll see

 

NO MORE CONTAINER GARDENING FOR ME, see below!

I'm sorry I haven't responded to your helpful post, but I did checkout those links, and I even purchased a book on container gardening, but my luck has changed! A local organization I recently found allows you to rent raised beds! For under 30 bucks I have rented out 2, 4x12 feet raised beds!!! Again I am still new at this, but I have attended a few workshops now, but I may be back for more questions.

(for those curious, that 30 bucks includes a 10 deposit I will get back, 10 pounds of chicken manure, 6 free plants to transplant, 2 free packet of seeds, and all the rest of the transplants I buy will be 2 bucks for a pack of 6...I do not feel as if I got cheated )

What am I growing NOW that I have 2 raised beds?
Brussels sprouts,
onions, green onions
kale
spinach
lettuces
tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
bell peppers (red, red-orange)
eggplant, broccoli, and zucchini are being considered, but I'm working on planned layout and I have to figure out spacing sturff...

herbs: basil, oregano, chives, i haven't decided what else yet...

and garlic come fall (along with other cool weather crops, of course) I love me some gahlic!

I am having so much fun doing this planning, I can not wait to get to planting!!!

I have some trees too.

I'm sure I forgot something, but I think that is it.

 

Right now, some kale, chard, lettuce, peas, kolrabi, collard greens, and carrots. Oh, and raspberries, but they won't fruit 'til next year.
Seedlings yet to come out: more kale, collard, lettuce, and chard, plus some spinach. Also, I just started some peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, and pumpkin indoors. Will be planting outside ina few weeks. I know it's a little early, but it's been such a mild Winter and warm spring, I figured I could get away with it.

Enjoying looking up all these strange sounding plants! :-D
