The warm weather also gets me thinking of growing some of my own veggies this spring/summer season. I really don't have a green thumb at all, so it's kinda daunting and scary for me to even consider this. Along with the fact that we live in a townhouse where we don't really have our own backyard to plant in but we can grow things in pots. Even with these two "issues" I am willing to give growing our own veggies a try but have no real idea where is a good place to start.
I have heard that tomatoes are pretty easy to grow, and last year Eva grew some green beans that looked really good in a pot on her deck. So I'm thinking I'll start with tomatoes and green beans this time.

I will try to keep you updated on how things go with my first experience planting my own veggies.
Any of our readers have experience that you could share with me and any suggestions on what veggies are pretty easy to grow in a pot? I would appreciate any help you can offer!

Wish I could help you out, but we haven't grown anything yet. We have a small yard, so maybe we should give it a try. I think we'll start with an herb garden :).
ReplyDeleteHerbs is a good suggestion Lisa! Unfortunately, I'm not very good with using more western type herbs in my cooking. Probably something I should work on as well =)
DeleteI'm sure we could both grow cilantro and scallions :). Oh, and basil. Love basil! The only reason I don't use fresh western herbs is because they are expensive and I only need a pinch. But if I had a garden, well, that's another story.
DeleteWe actually got some basil seeds at the wedding we attending this past weekend, so I will definitely be planting some of those =)
DeleteWe are having a blizzard while you are enjoying warm weather. No fare! :) I really want to try gardening. This is our first year with a backyard, but I don't have a green thumb either.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the blizzard Mandi, that really bites! I wish you all the luck with your gardening, maybe will read about it on the blog? =)
DeleteWish I could help. We tried growing vegetables in a container last year, but we were gone for 2 weeks in the summer, and they mostly didn't survive. The tomatoes did turn out, so that's pretty hearty.
ReplyDeleteI do remember your post a while back about the tomatoes. I guess I will really have to give those a try first, thanks =)
DeleteAmazing blog !
