My boys (10 and 7) have done some gardens the last couple years. I always had them as a kid. Im in a townhouse so yard space is limited.  We have 3 small spots where we planted. Bought some chicken wire/fencing. Used old arrows as stakes to keep fence in place. my boys LOVE eating tomatoes.  They literally eat them everyday. they both take some to school as a snack. We planted 8 days ago. So far we have 3 cherry tomato, 1 big boy, 1 better boy, 1 red sweet pepper, 1 green sweet pepper, basil, spearmint (came back from last year), 1 strawberry (came back from last year), and a lima bean that my son started at school from a seed.  I have room for a couple more plants. May go with some pepper plants...maybe get some hot peppers...for me. lol

Yep and this is the first year I cheated and bought most of my plants, I like starting from seed but this year I couldn't.

I only grow things I can't get, like specialty tomatoes. Or flowers that I can plant in the soil or planters.

Nice, I have some just never shot them. I also have ball and chain rounds, ball and chain sums up my life lol

I do a bit of both, for example those Jamaican hot peppers I can never find around here and when specialty grocers have them they are expensive and of poor quality.

Last weekend was a bust as far as getting started. This weekend should be better. I'm gonna go with started plants and just get whatever area I can prep started. Tomatoes and peppers are easy to find. Hopefully find more than just bell peppers. Hot would be nice. Will have see what else is available and will have to check what's not too late to start from seeds at this point. Probably basil. Was hoping to be able to do string beans. Will see what happens.

4 basil and 4 zucchini in last night after I got home from work.

 

This weekend I'll be picking up 1 or 2 pepper plant and starting the eggplants from seed. Will be starting indoors because I have no idea what an eggplant seedling looks like and would prob accidently pull it up while weeding. Also have read best to wait until it stays above 60 at night before moving eggplant seedlings outside.
