So, if you live nearby, I'm sure I will have extra veggies and herbs this summer. You can have all my eggplant, the only reason I'm planting them is because I can. I'm sure I won't eat nearly as many as I will produce. I'm so excited. Any gardening tips are welcome.
Oh yeah, and if you'd like a mum plant...we have 18-20 in various parts of our yard. I would LOVE to get rid of some. FREE MUM PLANTS!! Spread the word!
Wow. I want to live by you and help you in your garden and learn stuff about gardening and then take some of the sweet corn and tomatoes and rosemary off your hands. :) How great to be a homeowner! I really should try stuff in pots. Hmm. How big is the garden? Have you gardened before? This seems like a huge task, and completely awesome! Did you just ask someone at a garden center what grows in western Michigan?
ReplyDeleteLOL you think I know what I'm doing. I went to Meijers (similar to Walmart) and looked at the pictures on the seed packages and took inventory of what we like to eat/spend money on and then I picked pictures of pretty flowers. That is how I picked out what I wanted. ...Well, with the exception of Eggplant...and the Pak Choi...not really sure what I'm going to do with that either. I have no desire to eat one that I grow...I just want to say I grew it. The Pumpkings, I just want one...I'll sell the others to the neighbors. The garden, pretty big...the size of a small one-car garage I think. We did container gardens at our apartment, herbs, green beans, strawberries (that didn't work out so well), tomatoes, various lettuces, and bell peppers. That worked out good. So yeah, I do it just to say I did it and just to see it grow...I don't care really what grows, I just want a pumpkin and fresh corn. I didn't realize you could grow some of that stuff in Michigan. I know someone will be appalled by this.
