I am planting a container garden again this year, and am going to be growing things my CSA does not have on their varieties list this year (including herbs, hot peppers, lima beans)... I also have raspberry and blackberry bushes I planted two years ago that should begin producing this year.

I've worked in a garden almost every year of my life, my family's and my own

I went with "other" because I never have before, but it's at the top of my to-do list for once the semester is over. Currently I have herbs growing in little pots on my desk :)

I love the idea of gardening. i very much would love to have at least an herb garden. but, i have a 'black thumb' i have never successfully cared for a plant.
My husband is a landscaper, it seems like he can make anything bloom. i've asked him to plant and maintain a small garden for me, but he just doesn't want to after working with plants all day. i've pointed out that a small garden for me would be much less work than everything they do for their clients huge yards, but to no avail. :(

start in pots - far easier to look after...

also, it's not that difficult to do on your own, soil and seeds and water!

For those who claim it is "way too much work":

I grow more vegetables in my 150sq ft plot than its 4 human users can eat in a season, and I spend about 1-2 hours per week, 5 months per year.

Spring planting takes one afternoon, harvesting and weeding is 1-2 hours per week, and fall cleanup is another afternoon.

Working at a job to pay for $80 of vegetables per week is "way too much work" in my book.

Not to mention you get some physical activity, sunshine, and help the planet.

Dang people are lazy and pathetic.

I don't have space for a personal garden living in the city, however I do belong to the local CSA which is great!

I'd prefer not to have plants in the house. Bugs. I have been slowly adding xeriscaping outside. Plants that produce fruit or veggies are typically more water hungry.

I'm doing more than planting a garden. I'm creating an edible landscape. Every plant must have a use of some sort. Even those that are ornamental are selected for supporting native pollinators and/or repelling pests. But the focus is heavily on edible plants. I have an annual garden in raised beds but most of the yard is perennials in the form of fruit trees, vines, bushes, etc. I'm doing my best to provide as much of my produce as I can.

We just started our own garden this year in the side of our small yard. Had to rent a small tiller to get through the soil though since it was more or less clay and the hand tiller I bought (non-motorized) couldn't break up the soil enough. Proud that I got it done though, took about 4 hours or so. Now we just have to weed and eat :)

Hope last night's cold weather didn't kill off the corn and garlic though :/ (corn was transplanted from inside, garlic was transplanted from various wild spots around the yard to a row to look after).

I was advised not to plant a garden by the EPA due to lead contamination from the battery smelter nearby.

To the person creating an edible landscape---cheers!

I'm doing the same thing. My husband and I just bought a house and the plan is to use plants that are either edible to humans, to birds, or to butterflies. Many plants will serve all those purposes. I already have a seasonal vegetable garden with a friend so my home landscape will be more permanent, such as fruit vines and trees, spices, and an herb/butterfly garden. Many people would be surprised to see how wonderful an edible landscape can look.

There are a lot of traditionally ornamental plants that are edible as well. Just because you don't see it at a supermarket doesn't mean it's not good to eat.

Interesting that the question seems to ask for a "yes" answer and yet there is no simple yes to choose from.

I am growing my own this year in pots. Eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, herbs, and chilis are in so far. Next week, I will start seeds for beans, other herbs, and more squash. It is exciting and fun!

I remember community gardens after WWII. This is a concept that needs to come back...urban farming...a super idea!

I wanted to last year but my man says no. i want to try again this year.
