    I'm just starting my first garden. Though I have big plans . Tomatos, bok choy, carrots, onions, peas, beans, corn, and the list goes on. I've been double digging for the last few nights getting ready for the season.

    Cabbage and broccoli plants have germinated. Has anyone had good success with broccoli in the spring?

    First time vegetable gardener here. I was looking for some tips online when I stumbled into the gardening blog and found it to be very helpful!

    I have about an acre of Texas Hill Country to work with, but also have 3 dogs and a rich variety of local critters, so I chose to get started on the deck on the roof of my house... maybe a bit ambitious, but I'm starting out with a container garden: green beans, black beans, carrots, green onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, chiles, bell peppers as well as 2 large pots for pumpkins and watermelons of which all have emerged and are starting to grow I also planted a couple varieties of grapes. I'm also thinking of adding some herbs soon. My wife thinks we are going to have a jungle up there... and truth be told that's what I am going for! I have 3 munchkins to help with watering and a degree in plant pathology which I hope will pay some dividends down the road. We will see how it goes, but I'm thrilled to be off and going with this new endeavor. Bring on the veggies and fruits!!!

    Hey, good to have you here! That sounds like a very nice container garden project you've got going there. Hope you harvest a bunch! I'm in MI so we've got a little bit before we can safely get things in the ground. We've had some unseasonably warm weather, but we dare not plant yet. Typically we get things rolling right around the last week in April or the first/second week in May - that's usually when all danger of frost has passed. I'm going real simple with our garden this year. Besides our herbs in the herb garden it will likely be mostly bush beans and a variety of tomatoes. Possibly a small row of cucumbers. I may get a few peppers going in containers too - we'll see. A buddy of mine said he's got some ghost peppers for me. I've tasted them but never tried growing them. We'll see how it goes. Hope you have a great season!

    Hey Mo, good to hear your seedlings are doing well! Make you sure you post pictures of your Tower Garden once the seedlings are in. Veggies in 2 weeks is pretty fast! What are you growing?

    Another great idea for small space gardening are home made containers, like pallet planters and recycled food grade barrels cut into tubs.

    Good luck and keep us posted!

    My garden is not so much of vegetables and herbs but lots of greens. Most of them are in a pot.
