We’re having a go at a veggie garden this summer. Starting small, with a few square feet, to keep the kids interested. If we do well with our carrots and peas this year, who knows? It may be the beginnings of a new family hobby!

Maria – I think the heirloom varieties taste so much better! The pole my hubby used wasn’t particularly sturdy. You could always try the tiny cherry tomatoes. They would work well.

Suzanne – a flowering plant would work well. Now I think about it, there are lots of plants you could try.

Roberta,

I’m sorry. I couldn’t help laughing about your horse problem. It brings back memories of animals and gardens from my childhood. They’re not a good combination, are they?

Wow, love the idea. I might try it with sometype of flowering plant. I garden once or twice a year.

Having a very low maintenance garden consisting of Palms, hibiscus, dracenas, agaes, yuccas, basically tropical ones and one’s that don’t need much upkeep. That’s out front. Out back, more palms, vines and two huge pawpaw trees. I’ts like a tropical oasis.

I use to like gardening lots. Now I find I get so dirty I hate it. Thank heavens for maintenance free. :)

My dad has the green thumb in our family. We don’t grow vegetables, but we have an assortment of plants.

Ok that’s a very cool idea. I need to show my mom that.

My husband told me about this. But I keep wondering what kind of post and line we’d need to hold it up.

Right now I have 36 tomato plants in the ground. There are several varieties including some heirlooms.

Oh gosh, don’t get me talking about gardening. I am obsessed with vegetables.

I plan to start a new blog on homesteading/frugal living in late May, so I can indulge my passions.
