I'm ready to start the garden up for the year! I have my round bed in the front that I've decided to turn into a perennial bed -- this will be almost exclusively strawberries and asparagus, with a bit of rhubarb and borage mixed in with it. I managed to pick up an awesome used staircase plant stand at a yard sale a couple weeks back, and that is now gracing the middle of the bed with plant holders containing some deeeelish sugar snaps that the kiddos helped me plant. Bonus that they'll have the "banister railing" of the plant stand to climb and hang down on... and some are high enough the kids can't reach them, so we might get to cook with some of our peas this year (and save the peas for next season)! I am also going to try my hand at some potted lemons this year... I know, it doesn't quite get warm enough, but I plant to keep them trimmed small and in their pots, so I can bring them inside for the winter. So far I have about 7 meyer lemon trees growing... I won't get to keep them all though, so I may need to find a couple new homes eventually!

I just signed up after reading about you in "Eaarth" by Bill McKibben. Great site!

As a member in Cityplot Amsterdcam I want to start a vertical gardening fence. Who's interested, please send ideas!!!

PLanning our garden......SO EXCITED!

this is going to be an interesting adventure into the world of gardening..never have done it..but if i can get a flowering plant to look like that...maybe?i can grow a tomatoe too!

This last weekend I planted sugar snap peas, lettuce, spinach, mizuna and mache. I also have some Winter Density and Flashy Trout Back lettuces that wintered over. It's fun to already have a few leaves to throw into a salad.

Have been away from KGI for almost 2 years and am back again. I moved to Grenada in the Caribbean and is starting my backyard gardening. We are now in the beginning of the dry season, but I am very excited cause I can grow all year round.
