…can recommend anything? I live in Canada, so they have to be OK with getting covered and frozen for 7 months. I have a south exposure with lots of western light too. It’d be nice to grow something edible but not sure if this will work. Any recommendations?
As the title suggests. I live in a flat and don’t have any garden space, but we do have a number of fairly large window-boxes – around 12″ deep, 12″ wide and 40″ long. I’ve always grown herbs in them, but is there any kind of vegetable I could hope to grow in a space like that? I understand that potatoes and butternut squash are a bit out of my reach, but there must be something that could grow there? Tomatoes? Peppers? Onions? Could I just seed something in now and hope it sprouts?
Thanks, keen gardeners!

I was thinking of peas, beans, lettuce, and some herbs. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully done this.
Last year my wife and I planted some tomatoes and herbs, which we’ve already started in our home this year as well. We’re going to try a couple new things this year with planting broccoli and sqaush (crookneck) seeds, but need some tips from you green thumbs out there. Any help would be great!
Live in the mountains in Maryland – it’s still cold and we have frost every morning – I wasn’t going to start the broccoli seed inside, but rather plant directly in our garden – However if we do that, then we won’t be planting the seeds for several weeks (due to the frost)
thank you ranger dan – very informative
Any good ideas for a low maintenance vegetable plot? I have a 5′ square I’ve got some chive growing in, but is bare other than that. I’m looking for something that will grow while I leave it alone. Weeds have been a problem in the past. I’ve tried rubbarb and tomatoes and herbs. I’d like something growing in there would be ok if I wasn’t home to tend it every week. I do leave it watered with soaker hose on a timer. Any ideas welcome. Thanks you.

I would like to make a raised bed garden for my vegetables this year. The area I have to work with is 14′x6′ and I’d like to make a couple of boxes (both squares and rectangular) to go into that area. I plan to grow lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and a couple misc. vegetables. I would like to do this in the most cost effective way because I’m just a cheap person, but I’d also like it to look nice. I would love the beds to be made of wood, but the lumber isle of the hardware store is scary. Let alone trying to get the lumber home and heaven forbid I have to cut the wood. I think you get the idea. I see a lot of nice kits online, but once again I’m just too cheap to buy them when I think I can make something nice myself. Any ideas?

We live in California and are planning on building a premaculture chicken/greenhouse. The greenhouse on the south side of the coop. We are finding a difficult full sunny spot. We plan to grow herbs, tomatoes and lettuces in it . How much sun will our greenhouse actually need?

Hope everyone had a good 4th of July! Not much has changed. Everything still pretty healthy. Bell peppers are changing colors and the cucumbers are doing well. Tumbling Toms are producing several ripe tomatoes every nite. Be warned: I am now formally planning my garden for next year. Boy, am I gonna have some fun! My wife can’t believe we haven’t really even started harvesting a lot of veggies and I’m already looking forward to next year….LOL. Thanks for looking. Any advice, please leave me a post.

My son received a small tomato plant on a field trip. We don’t know anything at all about gardening, but we planted it in full sun and now it is enormous. It has little yellow flowers, but no tomatoes. What did we do wrong? Is it too late in the season to fix it? We are in the Midatlantic area of the US.
