Any home gardeners here?

This year I'll be growing several types of vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, carrots, broccoli, lots of peppers, eggplant, lots of herbs and more). I planted several banana trees around the yard too, so we'll have a surplus of bananas soon. They grow very fast; planted them last year, and am expecting a large harvest this year. Hopefully the weather this year isn't as eradicate as last year. Oh yeah, sugar cane too!

I started some Virginia Gold tobacco seeds in the grow room as well. I grew tobacco many years ago, and they did great, so looking forward to this years crop. More for fun than anything else.

Let's hear what you plan on growing this year (if you're into growing...).

Sounds great! It's a real challenge to grow a lot here so we keep it small. Tomatillos, peppers, cherry tomatoes for the most part. I miss easy growing but not long stretches of cloudy days, scraping ice or shoveling snow.

We’ve long since moved on from the large one location garden. As the trees grew around the yard it ruined the light needed to continue. But, we do still grow in various places. We have a healthy herb garden with rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, chives, and parsley on the path next to the hot tub. Jalapeno and Serrano peppers in a two bay soapstone sink on the side of the garage. Tomatoes, and cucumbers on the deck and lastly pumpkins on the edge of the walkway of the bigger of two perennial gardens.
We joined a farm share last year for the first time and really enjoyed it and have re-upped for this year. We received a lot vegetables that we would never have grown or even bought in the grocery store. Got to love fresh vegetables!

My wife is heavy in to aeroponics so we have several indoor gardens growing everything from tomatoes to greens, cucumbers, strawberries etc. It’s nice to have fresh homegrown produce year round.
