We started a garden 1 yr ago. Last year we planted sweet corn, onions, potatoes, green string beans, green peppers, and tomatoes. We also planted a few strawberry plants, asparagus, blueberry bush, and concord grape vine. 2 yrs ago we planted rhubarb.

Ok....the majority of the veggie plants did quit well....especially the tomatoes..man did we have tomatoes . The sweet corn was a disaster.

This year we planted tomatoes (only a few), green peppers, pickles, potatoes, and squash. I killed the squash and a few tomatoe plants because I did[n't cover them up from a frost warning.

I find that our plants seem to do pretty good growth wise but when it comes to producing the veggie....its not so good. I think the soil lacks some nutrients. It is mostly sand. And we do water so not quite sure.

There is also sunflower plants there that we planted last year and this year and they do very very well.

I made a flower bed last year and put a few more plants in it this year. I wish I could name them but I can't . If I see it and think it will make a nice addition color wise and size wise and if the plant can take the full sun...then I plant it despite the name.

On my porch I have to flower pots that I have a few dahlias in and some green filler plants. Usually I have four hanging baskets on my porch but because of the rising cost of things I decided not to do those.

I do enjoy gardening though and plan on making a couple other flower beds in the yard.

Happy Gardening!!
