Potatoes, beetroots, zucchini, podded pole beans; purple ones this year (definitely not the rose beans! Horrible! Learned from the last year.. let them grow too much and pods become wooden!),
carrots, onions, cucumbers.. Cherry tomatoes, only if I can find them already potted to a ampel.
I have tried to grow cherry tomatoes (from the seeds), they will grow, like crazy, and then produce tomatoes, but those are never sweet as they are promised to, so I don't know what went wrong..
Chives, parsley, dill, spinach, lettuce..
As for flowers, I should not be let to a summer yard section at the stores! 🫣 And even worse if there is a sale going on...
So far I only got Diascias, Calibrachoas (I always try to apt the ones I do not need to remove the flowers from). Piones, Rhodos (which I want more, I want a rhodo garden!), Hostas, Osteospermum... And a whole lot of other flowers here and there, perennials..
why on earth does english have these hard names for their plants, or do they have nicknames in english? If so they are hard to find.
We call these:
Osteospermum = Starry eyed (or just star eye as literal trans.)
Calibrachoa = Millionbell or Japanese bell
Also in the garden there are, red currant and black currant bushes, maybe there are a few goose berrybushes too. Apple trees grow by themselves, so does sea buckthorn bushes, but I am aimin' to kill few of those ones!
Today, since it wasn't so windy, onions went to the ground.
After that it was time to give time to my most plenty of plant, common chickweed! I gave it and all of its offspring a nice and warm welcome to my garden for it this year with a flame thrower

there are thousands of common chickweeds getting ready to grow.. Probably not visible in this photo.
I guess I have alway been in the garden, even if I didn't want (as a kid), but getting older, so it is nice to grow and store your own food. And flowers are beautiful pixmig’s photo albums around the garden!
I remember one time when I was a kid (maybe 10 years old) and I had my friend over, my brother and I had to go plant potatoes with our parents.. I was soo jealous that my friend didn't have to , she just walked around the field and played by herself.
Oh, that purple Tradescantia is a one I would buy if I would see it in a store, not that I need anymore indoor pants either.. but there is always room for one more!

I noticed that one of the comments in that post was "My tomatoes are never as sweet as they are promised to be"
I had this problem for several years. The landscaper at my favorite garden center gave me a solution for the problem. It was a small bag of trace minerals to use on each individual plant. I sprinkle a couple of tablespoons around each plant when I transplant my plants.
I also put a 1/4 cup over my raised beds (4'x8'x8") before I transplant into them.

My gardens all ready to grow. I have dill in a pot with basil, and mint in its own pot, as well as a strawberry in a tub, and four peppers, two kinds of yellow, one hot, one sweet, and a red and an orange sweet pepper in a window box.
The rest are all flowers. In a pot:
pansies
lobelia
(giant) phlox
geranium and ivy geranium
common and variegated periwinkle
petunia
lantana
begonia
impatiens
String of hearts
There is a stub left of some catnap since Pearl (my only remaining of three feral residents) noticed it and over-loved it (don't tell her I have another one on the front porch).
lavender that came up sprouted from last year
Bee Balm
Coreopsis
vinca
a mini-morning glory
verbena.
I can't seem to get a grip on keeping them alive but that has stopped me from trying again this year with three, not doing so well, zinnias.
Catharanthus hybrid "white peppermint"
Arizona apricot blanket flower
blue salvia
gerbera daisy
catmint (Squishy favor this one especially and claimed it for himself).
hardy banana tree
dahlia
blue delphinium (larkspur)
lemon balm
garden sage
marigold
browallia (bush violet)
I have a small apartment. Otherwise, there would be much, much more.
