My camera guy and roommate took care of the garden this year - tones of huge sunflowers, tomatoes, squash corn etc.

my woman is dumbfounded how her sunflowers don't get as big as she'd like. any secrets here or am i just looking at shit arizona dirt?

It's that time again. Going with herbs again, they have been very dependable in the past. I'll try beefsteak tomatoes and take better care picking those suckers off. I got burnt last year by planting before final frost.

My new place has a very shaded small back yard. The building next door is owned by the same person and has a small area I thought could be used. Not only can I plant a garden but they encouraged it. 5X10 with a chain link fence. Raking and planting next week. Plumb and jersey tomatoes, peppers and string beans. A few herbs.
I have chickens now so no more garden for me. Unless I want to do the upside-down planter thing.

Glad I didn't do the planting. Rain turned into frost warnings. They say wait till Memorial Day.
I am thinking of getting a new place, if possible, a vegetable garden will be happening.
Is there any veggies you guys would like to do if you could?

Jalopenos and other peppers. Without a green house, it's just too cold of a climate here and they don't thrive. I've stopped doing veggies (outside of a rubarb plant I put in the ground for one bald swede) but all the herbs are doing great. My sage and rosemary plant have been in the ground about 7 years now and my bay laurel plant I put in the ground 2 years ago has become a tree. I thought it was a fucking bush.... but no, I now have a tree in my garden.
Well, no veggies for me this year. The climate and drastically changing weather in the NL makes it really hard to figure out what I can get away with or not. So this year it's herbs and flowers.
I totally redid my garden and pulled out the 2 big raised beds and paths. This way I got more space. I've planted the herbs and some violas, 2 new hortensia and all of the open space you see has been seeded with livingstone daisies (ice flowers) which fucking love the full son and are good ground cover. I still need to get the sides along the shed and fencecleaned up...that's this coming weekend's project. Then I need to get something to put in there. I'm also putting stain on the fence to freshen it up since it's looking pretty sad at the moment.
Then when the weather gets a bit better I'll be pulling out the pressure washer to take care of the crap still on the patio.
Can't wait for everything to get into a full bloom!
What a lovely turtle, and I grow roses
Should I grow peas? I like peas. They are the impatient person's friend as well. They grow so damned fast.
Oh, it's a pleasant fatigue after cleaning the garden)

I need to take pics of our back garden.
I decided that I'm downsizing the growing area and we worked the past few weeks to put in sand and gravel in most of the garden. Now I'm working on getting the garden portion weeded and cleaned up. I already have a rhubarb plant that really seems to be loving his lot in life, cat nip, chives that have managed to survive 3 winters now and a bay leaf tree that had to be severely cut down this spring.
I'll probably plant some rosemary and sage since my 2 bushes died over this past winter (rosemary was almost 8 years old and the sage close to 10). I also have 4 lovely ladies I've named the Mary Janes that need to go into the ground this coming weekend.
