It's been many years since I had a garden, this year my neighbor and I decided to go together and put in a nice garden. The garden area is 30' long by 15' wide.

So far we have planted...
23 tomato plants (LOL....I love me some maters :D )
18 Jalapeno's
4 green bell peppers
4 yellow bell peppers
4 orange bell peppers
8 crooked neck yellow squash
10 Corn
8 Okra
12 Onions
Green Beans of some sort (neighbor built some sort of trellis for them to climb)
Cilantro

we will probably plant some more things and there are probably a few things I frgot.

What do you have in your garden?

Do you sweep it every day?? Sorry - just couldn't resist but you just can't have that dirt laying around. http://www.2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/images/icons/smile.gif I've got a bunch of maters, peppers (poblano, jap and bell) and green beans. Hope to get squash, watermelon and cantaloupe planted soon. Did you put out squash plants? Couldn't find any so I bought seeds.

Way to go trodery!

Don't know what my problem is this year! At least last year I had 5 potted Tomato plants. This year none so far! :(

We planted maters, carrots, onions, beans, peas, peaches, orange and papaya trees this year. Now if I could just find me one of those money trees I would be set for the season.

What kind of onions did you plant? I've heard its too late to plant them. 1015's for instance, are called that because that's when you're supposed to plant them. Oct. 15

LOL Viking! We put the garden in my neighbors yard cause your right...I could not stand to look at that dirt :D

I found the squash plants at Lowes the other day.

My neighbor planted the onions, I asked him what kind they were but he could not remember.

We should get together when things start coming off the vine and have a "vegetable Swap" :D :D

Beer4bait; planting tobacco, that is interesting. Does it do well down here? Just curious because I got a brother in law who loves to garden and smoke. He always seems to spend more on ciggs than his budget allows. Tobacco would be an good plant for him to grow.

That date is for seeds, the pods of them offered in the store need to be in the ground by next weekend. Or so;)

Cabbage, brock, brussel sprouts, onions, and potatoes so far. Planting beans and squash this week.

Try some potatoes next year....get seed potatoes at a feed store and plant around the end of January beginning of Feb. depending on location and begin harvesting early May. Great fun and great eating...new potatoes and fresh green beans...nothing better.

I started last year and yes it grows well any where a tomato or tomatillo grows. Seeds can be found for 12-24 buck for 50 to 60 plants. Plants get about 6 feet high if you cut the suckers. Mine got about 4 foot before I cut and hung them in the barn. Do some homework do not order just any seed. There are several plants for smoke and chew that require Flu curing but you can make your own easy. I tryed the cigar type last year that cure on the green/brown side and some hung dry smoke plants. For the roll use Havana style #263 and the filler Zimmer Spannish both can air dry and both can go in a pipe. I will try a flue cured vanilla this fall. Plan in March and harvest in late fall. Start indoors the first 8 weeks and word to the wise every animal, fungus, and bug like them so you must dust or spray from day one. The flowers are awsome and seeds are super small.

Happy growing/smoking;)

Beer4bait, I didn't know anyone in texas grew tobacco. I helped my grandpa as a kid plant roughly 50 acres in Kentucky. we did all this by hand in a tobacco setter pulled by a pair of belgian horses. when i went up in the fall, we would help cut, strip and put in the barn. then it went in the press until ready for the trip to the new burley warehouse in lexington, ky. lot of fun memories. i hope you post up some pics as the stuff grows.

It grows well, the seeds I got this year will grow about 15 plants. 15 plants can fill a pipe for more than one year.
