What's Growing in Your Garden?

Not counting weeds. We all have those. LOL.

I have a few different types of tomato plants, a cucumber, some pepper plants (still need to go into the ground) and a zucchini plant (to be planted). The rest is all flowers (red marigolds, pink and white petunias, red and pink geraniums, red salvias and a few blue pansies). It's hard this year to work in the garden I have to say. I love to garden but now w/ baby Sophia time is so limited that I rush out to do some gardening while she naps. And of course not everyday like I used to. Just here and there when I feel the urge to.

Do you take your baby/children out w/ you when you garden? And where do you put your baby if yes? What do you do about your dirty hands (mine get real dirty pulling the weeds)

I don't have a garden. I would like one just not the work that goes with it..lol I love fresh tomatoes, green beans and all that.
DH has been pushing for years for me to have one...lol I think if we owned our own place I would be more willing to.

We have a ton of flowers, but I have no idea what they are

We also have 3 apple trees, a pear tree, pecan trees, a raspberry bush, mustard greens, some other kind of green that escapes me at the moment, and brussel sprouts.

I'm so jelous of you ladies that have gardens. I'm apartment living right now, so I can't have a garden, I have a potted flower outside my door, I think its some type of daisy, but the flower died a couple months ago so now I have a small potted bush.

Aside from the ample weeds that have sprung up since I'm lax about getting out there (you're right - babies make it tough!) we have several tomato plants, green & red bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, bush beans, sweet, red & white potatoes.

I also have two hibiscus, a mandevilla and tons of azaleas.

I bring Sam out with me, either in his pack and play or his exersaucer.

The other day after my neighbor came and plowed for me, we let Sam play in the dirt and he Loved it. I'll have to post some photos later...i took a video but it didn't work or i deleted it on accident.

I have tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, yellow straight neck squash, butternut squash, acorn squash, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, small watermelons, peas, green beans, yellow beans, lettuce, onions, carrots, radishes, beets...i think that's all. Not sure what all will or wont take.

I have flowers in my front garden and blueberries, tomatso and raspberries in the back yard along with weeds and flowers. I usually put avelina in her highchair with some snacks or I will put her on a blanket with toys if I'm not doing that much or if someone else can watch her.

Okay we have a huge garden but the most I do is go out around 730/8pm to water it

We share it with my mom and step-dad and they've always done the planning and planting. Its at our house because we have more sunlight.

We have watermelon plants, pumpkin, zucchini, peas, wax and green beans, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers, potatoes, carrots and regular as well as green onions. Oh and a big back row of sunflowers.

Now my flower bed out front is bushes, flowers and a crap load of weeds. I didn't want it in the first place but the builder we were working with insisted on it. BUT nobody thought to put down that tarp stuff to stop the weeds. I hate pulling weeds.
