Since I have been inspired by this forum I thought it was about time I joined. I have grown a few peppers,tomatoes and herbs, but that was all in pots so this is my first garden. I started pretty late,got most of my stuff on sale as leftovers from the nursery and I started a few plants from seed. I've always wanted to do a vegetable garden and thought better late than never. I'm growing herbs galore(mainly in pots), various tomatoes and peppers,swiss chard,kale,beets,carrots,radishes,red cabbage,romaine and butter crunch lettuce,radicchio(I think), eggplant and finally a few types of squash that just picked up a fungus or something. My first pic is from the day I planted about a month and a half ago, the rest are from today. Let me know what you think and please share any advice as I am a novice. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84336&stc=1&d=1281632985 My first peppers(mucho nacho) http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84339&stc=1&d=1281633448 Squash,lettuce,kale,beets. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums Hot pepper plant and herbs. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84342&stc=1&d=1281634934 anyone know if these red cabbage are doing o.k. for this time of year? http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84346&stc=1&d=1281635658 Golden plumbs. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84347&stc=1&d=1281635835 6 foot tall purdy flower.Stargazer lilly. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84349&stc=1&d=1281636274 more pictures here http://gillis.imgur.com/vegetable_garden
Looks great for a first! :) Remember to start off small and if you think that you could do a little bigger garden than do it.
