Anyone putting in a garden for the summer?

I figured, as much as i like fresh veggies, and with the way prices are skyrocketing, I gotta get a garden started and maybe a henhouse. tomatoes, hot peppers, cucumbers, cantaloupe, green beans, snow peas, squash, and spinach are the first things going in.

I'm planning on it...I was going to last year but procrastinated until it was too late into the season.
Not sure what I'm going to grow yet. Some sort of chili for sure, possibly habenero. A few herbs, strawberries, and maybe an ethnobotanical or two....
Really have no idea though...

Gonna have my usual garden for the summer. And I will most defiantly plant some turnip greens and cat nip. Only because they are easy to care for and because I love some fucking turnip greens!!! And the cat will be pissed if she doesn't have a QP of fresh cat nip to make it through the winter.

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

oh hell yes, we moved into a housse this fall that has a 35x35 foot timber constructed greenhouse, so as soon as the weather warms up im doin a couple small repairs on it (windows dont latch and door is busted) the wife and I are planting tomatoes, lettuce, peppers of all varieties, cucumbers, peas, beans, carrotss and a few others. I got the tiller motor running a couple weeks ago so it's all ready.

Pellet gun or poison for the squirrels . . I use Have.a.heart traps and send 'em on Holiday a few miles down the road ... . Deer are my enemy when it comes to gardening, (I call it farmin' ) ... Curious that they don't eat :weed: :pot: :ganga: :marijuana: :bud: , though... . . .

I'll most likely be living in an apartment this summer, so no garden for me. 
I wanted to grow one last year, but like others I procrastinated till it was too late.
Maybe if I get an appt I'll get some window boxes and do a little personal grow of baby veggies.

our mother nature is 1 big garden we people can use. just grow your veggies ''guerillia style''. Or in a big city just use an garden from an abonded house.

I want to do a garden this year, but my mom gets all pissy about it and says that I'm taking over her yard 
Last year I had two kinds of tomatoes, all colors of bell peppers, serrano chilies, tomatillos, and cilantro. It got so hot though that most of them didn't do very well 
Hopefully all of my special plants will come back this year too.

I can't wait to start my garden this year! Last week I ordered seeds to grow 3-4 varieties of tomato, 4 types of peppers, cukes, celery, beans, radish, squash, pumpkins and melons. I also ordered some perennial flower seeds to plant on a hill in my backyard that I don't want to mow anymore. Spring is coming!!
-------------------- The fire has many things to teach. But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism

I'm growing tomatoes and red peppers. I'm also doing a tobacco patch, so I wont be able to put too much food in, the amount I save on tobacco costs will greatly increase my funds for eating, however.

I'm gonna be doing stuff to make salsa myself. So basically a few tomatoes, peppers, maybe some onions. Potatoes again bc last year sucked for them due to lack of rain in the south. Squash, carrots, green beans and I think thats it. Maybe some others if I can sneak them in heh.

...to have some fun? Nobody knows Anything I say or talk about is strictly for my own search of knowledge and to satisfy my thirst of curiosity.
