My cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, squash and green beans have been plentiful this year so far in the texas heat. It feels wonderful knowing what I pick, eat and can is all ORGANIC.

I have been trying to add more pictures to my profile and I cannot remember how to do it. These pictures would be coming from my iPad which I am using on this walk of life www.thewalkoflife.org. My son Art is on this awesome walk and right now I am his Pilot car driver. I wanted to share some photos but do not know how to do it seeing as I am even new to the iPad . Thanks for any help I can get.

I have tomatoes, red peppers, hot peppers, butternut squash, zucchini and yellow squash, cantalopes, green and purple beans, and herbs.
Our spring garden is on it's way out but we had lots of bok choy, spinach, brocolli, chard and kohlrabi.

I am excited..this is my first year having a garden. I planted "Lemon boy" tomatoes, "golden nugget" tomatoes, and your average everyday reds. Two types of cucumbers, and some muskmelon. My dad planted, in same garden, some spinach, cabbage, greens.... The spinach already came in, and is AMAZING!

I starrted tomatoes, broccoli,cabbage,garlic,tomotiloes,book choi and some flowers,in the house, peas can go out already and some other seeds can go right in but the indoor flats have to be hardened off first. I love green stuff and it sure saves on the budget .

Now that growing season is here, are we having fun in our gardens? Remember that it is not the size of the garden that matters, it is that you have any size garden to have healthy food and to lower your carbon footprint. I live in a zero lot home and have found space to have 3 square foot gardens. And when you grow veggies vertically, you can almost triple your yeild. lets have fun this season and eat healthy.

Is it too early to grow indoors? I've always been told/taught to start indoors in April.
Just wondering - how do you guys have weight trackers (I just started on Spark - seems great so far - how long have you been on/enjoying Spark?)

Peppers, tomatoes, squash & cucumbers. I can only have a small patch as I live in the city now. When I lived in the country I had about an acre & grew EVERYTHING!! I wonder if my ex would mind if I raided the old garden patch this year??? Jeannie

It is about time to start planting seeds indoors for the upcoming garden season. What are you planning to grow?
