I can haz garden!

[melissajm]

I FINALLY got my garden in. It has yellow bush beans, peas (edible pod and not), half-long carrots and both red and black radishes. Oh, and the chives are running wild, as usual.

All sown by the world's most inept gardener, in a space about the size of a filing cabinet.

We'll see if anything edible turns out.

I also have lavender, mint and a pot of garlic chives that come back every year without any help (or hindrance) from me.

If you could make the mint stop coming back, I'd be pretty impressed.

The rest of my family have green thumbs, BTW. This year one of my sisters is growing what she calls "Fractal cauliflower": http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/5069/NV/cid/pport0011

Good luck with it!

I have a concrete thumb, and the only time I tried veggies they ended up being eaten by swarms of bugs. But I'm trying some flowers this year, in one place.

I put in some flower seeds this weekend. We must be bitten by the gardening bug, I'll say :)

I haven't put in any veggies, yet, because that garden is completely unprepared, still--the ground unfroze not long ago. I think I'll do a lot more to get ready in the fall this year.
