We need to work on that! LO has been keeping us busy, plus we got discouraged last year when our dogs decided they loved tomatoes and ate them all as soon as they were ripe. Then we put in a fence so the dogs couldn't get to the garden beds, and squirrels started eating all of our greens :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641388 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:00:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 641388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do!</p> <p>I have two flower beds in the front, several flower beds in the back, and a couple apple trees in the back as well. This year we are going to plant carrots and lettuce near the apple trees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641379 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:59:01 +0000 Lindsay05 641379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a HUGE one every year. We plant almost anything that will grow here. I am so jealous of those of you who can start planting already :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641297 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:38:45 +0000 fussygal 641297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cherrybee Pretty!</p> <p>We had a small vegetable garden last year (6x6) but I lost steam half way through the summer. I'd like to try again this year, but now that we're expecting in Nov. I'm not sure I'd be up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641135 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:56:02 +0000 Cherrybee 641135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a huge garden, 110ft long. We moved in a year ago and it was a jungle - it took me all spring to salvage the established plants that I wanted to keep and then plant up the areas I'd cleared - flowers, shrubs and herbs near the house (plus a little tomato patch) and a veg patch further down the garden. Unfortunately, we had the wettest summer in living memory last year and, veg wise, what didn't get washed away was eaten by a plague of slugs! I was heartbroken!</p> <p>Here are some photos taken before the rain started! I love my garden! I hope I have the energy to tend to it when the weather perks up here - if it ever perks up!! </p> [attach=2581/13/mjo7lf.600x395.c191032b-5bd0-4b03-b424-31ef3874cdfe.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7lg.600x433.dc87f058-64af-450f-bc7c-5c2a87f0cef4.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7li.600x450.WP_000289.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mjo7lk.600x450.WP_000169.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641078 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:37:30 +0000 Bao 641078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but we are starting one this year too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-641076 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:37:03 +0000 VanillaBean 641076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love gardening but I have not garden in a while since the birth of my son two months ago. I love planting herbs because they are easy to grow and they make food taste great without the added amount of salt/sugar. We recently bought a home where the previous owners had planted tomatoes, cabbages, and kale but they were dying. The house also came with 3 orange trees, 3 lemon trees, a grapefruit tree, and a guava tree which makes for good juicing and making ceviche. I wish it came with an avocado tree, then I would be making guacamole every day. Once my son is older, then I would go back to gardening again since we have space for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640886 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:52:23 +0000 swurlygurl 640886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Oh, that sounds so amazing. Making me dream of warm summer afternoons!</p> <p>I made my own mozzarella one time... If I used that with garden tomatoes and basil for caprese, that would be an incredible home-grown/made snack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640854 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:47:58 +0000 Boheme 640854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Basil and tomatoes are my motivating factor for wanting to start our garden! Last summer I would eat caprese stacks every. single. day. A slice of buffalo mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil shreds with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar = HEAVEN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640805 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:35:27 +0000 swurlygurl 640805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I heard planting basil by your tomatoes make them taste better. Not sure I believe it, but willing to give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640669 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:07:18 +0000 Honeybee 640669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is starting one this year; I have no desire to grow things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640644 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:03:05 +0000 heffalump 640644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My next door neighbor is planting one between our houses.

Started it up again last weekend. Peas and carrots are among the first seeds to go in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640607 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:56:28 +0000 pui 640607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I really want room for one at the next house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640589 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:49:37 +0000 swurlygurl 640589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm going to start planting this weekend! Lettuce, spinach and snow peas for now.

We grow garlic, tomatoes, peppers, romaine lettuce, and a ton of flowers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640457 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:25:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 640457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 5x5 foot space in my backyard that would be PERFECT for a garden. Has good soil in it, and is sectioned off with bricks.......buut we just got a puppy, so I'm afraid he will dig it up. But I might try it out anyways. Maybe put some chicken wire up around it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640439 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:22:52 +0000 DillonLion 640439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have a black thumb. The only thing we have in our yard is cacti. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-3#post-640436 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:21:56 +0000 Boheme 640436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a garden? What do you plant in it? We are starting our first one this year! </p>
