    Any veggie growers here?

    Okay for my well being, I thought I should doing something different than working or reading GFY plus making it to the gym three times a week and doing family/social functions.

    Probably a little late in season I started a real small garden, tonight I reap some benefits; four tomatoes, lots of hot peppers, oregano, basal! Right now, I am making salsa. Who knows how it will taste but?it will be all home-grown.

    Just wanted to share

      all good. Make sure and research your growing chemicals. Be careful what you feed your plants.

              You might want to try things like tomatoes in salads before mixing them in with tons of other ingredients. The taste of real tomatoes and other veggies is often so much different from (and better than) the storebought variety that it is really worth experiencing by itself, without the cover of other ingredients.

                      What do you mean? I did buy Miracle-Gro soil and it did say it was good for three months. When one tomato plant broke in half (almost), I gave some of my vitiamns...zinc, c and b complex. Should I be worried?

                          Gardening was the first chapter of my spiritual path.

                          I LOVE eating veggies I've grown.


                          Last week I ate some grapes from a vine I planted 12 years ago (it was the first time the fruit were edible.) AWESOME.

                                          I don't think he was saying you were cheating... (but did you cheat? :-P not 100% from the garden , after all?).. just that it's best to take a front-seat to all of your fresh fruit and veggies the first go-round.

                                          And I'd have to agree - especially with your tomatoes.

                                          The ones you buy at the grocery store generally don't hold a flame to a vine-ripened tomato.

                                          Same thing goes with plums, peaches... and other delicate pomes. Like Libertine said: an experience unto itself, really.

                                              I think you are right! I feel so much better working and watching my small garden grow.

                                              My dad had grape vines growing for years and they tasted real bad...his wine was really bad, yet still really good memories. You have the touch

                                                  I did cheat. I ate one of the tomato before it got to chopping block. And I will confess, I didn't wash it. IMO, it tasted GREAT.

                                                  I am already planning a reao garden for next year

                                                          For the first time this year I have tried my hand at growing two tomato plants on my balcony. So far there are about 30 tomatoes on the two plants but they are all still green.

                                                          I wanted to get a mini lemon tree for out there because some people say they do well on balconies but apparently you have to bring those in over the winter and I wouldn't know where I would put it in my apartment.

                                                          I am looking forward to fresh tomatoes. My mom always had a veggie patch when I was a kid but since I moved to the city everything has to come from the store.

                                                              Last week I ate some grapes from a vine I planted 12 years ago (it was the first time the fruit were edible.) AWESOME.
                                                              I planted a grape vine 3 months ago that was 3 ft high. Due to the weather in the UK it is now 10 ft high and has about 30 bunches of grapes on it. I have never seen anything grow like it in all my life.

                                                              I have tons growing in my back garden. For 2 to 3 months of the year I only have to buy milk, soft drinks and meat from the store.

The taste of real tomatoes and other veggies is often so much different from (and better than) the storebought variety that it is really worth experiencing by itself, without the cover of other ingredients.
                                                                  Agreed, I used to have tomato and cheese sandwiches in school, didn't need any other ingredients or seasoning. By comparison the store bought tomatoes are tasteless.

He used to plant different crops depends on the weather and season. He plants cabbages, garlic, onions, peanuts, sprouts, corn, rice and others. And he earns from them too. They were great.

                                                                                          But when i live with mom in the city, she only have a small part in the backyard to plant. And I told mom to plant some veggies as grandpa does and gladly she did.I cant's grow plants unfortunately, they die. From then, she used to plant varieties of veggies. Just this week I saw some gourd and eggplants. They're awesome.

It's so much better to grow your own naturally. Eat whats truly in season, right out of the ground where you live. Good stuff, keep it up

                                                                                                      I wanted to get a mini lemon tree for out there because some people say they do well on balconies but apparently you have to bring those in over the winter and I wouldn't know where I would put it in my apartment.

                                                                                                      I am looking forward to fresh tomatoes. My mom always had a veggie patch when I was a kid but since I moved to the city everything has to come from the store.
                                                                                                      Sarah, your green tomatoes will turn red probably in a few days or next week. I was like an expectant mother...now I am like stop rippening so fast.

                                                                                                          Not sure why you would say this. The broken cherry tomato plant is about 12 feet high and rippening the existing fruit with new flowers even though it broke in half a few times and it will probably bear two to three hundred cherry tomatoes if I stake it right.

                                                                                                          Please explain what a flush is? I am really new to this and would like to know.

The taste of real tomatoes and other veggies is often so much different from (and better than) the storebought variety that it is really worth experiencing by itself, without the cover of other ingredients.

                                                                                                              I could not agree with you more. We have a huge garden and nothing from the store is even close to the flavor you get from home grown veggies!

I'm a great cook but a black thumb so this thing is awesome. I'm currently growing a few pods of lettuce and the rest herbs. It's been three weeks and I can already harvest some of the lettuce!
