    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.

    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.
