All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here's what I've got:
-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more
-Plant beans/peas earlier
-Plant okra later
-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!
-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em
-Wouldn't bother with celery again, probably
-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I'd do kohlrabi again too
-Planted too many types of lettuce
We gave up on celery and have instead planted one or two individuals of lovage (Levisticum officinale) for the times we need some additional aromatics beyond the carrots, onions, and parsnips.
Ground cherries are the best! Homegrown ones are so much better than grocery ones (although this is true for many fruits and vegetables)!
I have two cucumber plants and three zucchinis so imagine what my diet is like.
