    Default What are you growing this year?

    I have a section of land that I want to build a 4x10ish sized garden. Currently its just a rock pit since I'm lazy I will be building a raised bed. Will post pictures soon, on my way to pick up the lumber. Currently debating growing the following; Tomatoes, Spinach, Carrots, onion green and yellow, cucumbers, leafy greens, sugar snap peas, and possibly a strawberry bush in the corner. Also have rosmary, thyme, and mint in pots. Suggestions for other plants? This is my first garden so I'm taking it a bit slow. What do you have going in this year?

    I would love fresh Oranges, I was in FL last summer and had some fresh, literally picked a few minutes before I bought them. So sweet and delicious, by the time they are up here in Chicago most are a bit on the acidic side. I wish I could grow them there.
