Welcome to Gaia! ::


A few seed catalogs are coming in, I'll add some reviews to the list.
I only have a humble garden, but I always grow onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes and strawberries.
There's a small part that I dedicate to growing flowers for the bee population, but I'm still wondering which ones I should add this year. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's currently winter here, and aside from pine trees, most things are dormant or dead.

I did plant garlic last fall though, and I'm hoping to have an insane amount this spring - if the rabbits, deer, chipmunks, and other fauna don't get it all on me.
I do, however have strawberry bushes that are twice-a-year bloomers(Spring and fall.), and a cool weather climbing rose bush.(Does the majority of it's blooming in spring and fall, yet the majority of it's growing in summer.)

In my regular garden, I have two types of basil(Thai basil and globe.), two kinds of chives(Garlic and onion.), Thyme, Sage, Lavender, Sweet mint, and winter savory for the herbs. Every year I attempt to add two more plants to the spice garden - which so far has proven to be way more cost effective than buying jars of spice.
In the one year of growing sage, I had the equivalent of an entire bottle of sage by end-of-season. I even used it on this year's turkey.
One bottle of sage is .99c/1.75oz for a non organic variety, all the way up to 3/21oz organic. Sage comes back every year, so I've effectively spent 4 to 5$ on unlimited sage.
I'm not certain what I'm going to add this year. I mean, there's an endless supply of what I'd like to grow - but quite a few don't grow in the zone I live in.(Growing zone 5A.)

I LOVE to garden. I cant wait for next month I finally got an apartment with a balcony, so I am limited to what I can grow. So far I have decided on 2 tomato plants, a strawberry plant, snap beans, basil, onions in a large pot, and some peas (maybe).
Ahh I love to garden. We have a pretty varied garden: hosta, iris, wormwood (one of my favorites tbh), tulips, marigolds, hydrangea, roses, lilac, lilies (I think day lilies), delphinium, tomatoes (which grew to be taller than my 6'4" dad lmao), cucumber, snap peas, green beans, squash, and probably a few other things that I'm forgetting.
My family goes hardcore in the spring and summer haha. I really can't wait to start planting again this year, I'm trying to convince my mom to plant a blueberry bush. u v u

Awesome! Just waiting on some grass seeds to grow for my tortoise to graze on inside their enclosure. Wanting to replant some geraniums and hostas from the front yard into the enclosure as well.
