I got tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, squash, and eggplant.

Also got some shallots growing in a pot outside the kitchen door. Cut off a few as we need them.

I have a patio tomato that has 12 tomatoes on it. Hope they turn red soon.

I bush hogged a garden at work today

Used to keep up a 4 acre garden at work. Grew a ton of shite. Corn, potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, okra, snap beans, sugar cane (one row for snaking on while working), eggplant, and a few other things. Always made 5 times as much corn as we could eat

I wish I had waited. With the cooler temps at night we have been having mine haven't done much growing yet. The tomato planted in a pot right next to the house has done good.

Nice looking spread there. Enough to keep you busy. This is my first year in a long time to grow anything. Going to expand next year.

onions,
How many onions do you grow. And what do you do with all of them. Can they be stored in cool dry place like potatoes?

That's the biggest thing I don't know is what to do with all the produce. This year I planted just what we can use fresh and give some away, but if you grow alot you have to can or freeze it?

I have one that hasn't been weeded and planted yet. This spring has been insanely busy for me. I actually dug a drainage ditch for it first, as my squashes have been having root rot. Hopefully I will be planted fully by the end of April. I know, too late. I'll be planting young plants, so no germination period, at least.

My garden is about 20 by 35.

tomatoes(regular & romas), green beans, cucumbers, zucchinni, yellow squash, eggplant, red & yellow bell peppers, green onions (they stay "planted" all year in a planter box). Okra,Jal, cayennes, & habeneros are all on hold because I still have a ton in the deep freeze from last year.
