Yup flowers and veggies, both my husband and I really like lazy weekends in the garden.

I had a small garden this year and we're trying to figure out if we want to do a raised bed next year. The LO is due in June so the question is, even though I won't be working, will I have time for gardening? If nothing else, we'll plan some herbs and jalapenos again on the side where they did well this year.

We had our first garden this summer! We planted tomatoes, eggplant, serrano peppers, herbs (lemongrass, mint, basil, thai basil, chives), green beans, cauliflower, and asparagus! Now that it's winter, I've planted garlic where our tomatoes were.

We also have an orange tree, an avocado tree, and a lemon tree.

We don't have very good soil at our house, so I don't have a food garden, but i do have a flower garden in front of our house. I am going to add to it next year too.

I had a patio garden at our apartment this past summer. Now that we have a house I'm going to try out gardening in the spring.

If anyone plants mint, that stuff grows like weeds! It's taking over our entire herb garden. I heard it's best if you keep the roots in a container, even if you decide to plant it in the ground... that way it's contained.

@chopsuey119: We do! DH does most of the work, he put in planters that hold a lot of our veggies! Green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, peppers (green, red, yellow, purple), cucumbers are our usual stock of veggies. DH experimented with strawberries and raspberries this year that didn't turn out so well... we love having fresh veggies from the garden during the spring/summer/early fall. We save a lot on grocery shopping too!
