Hello English Friends across the Great Blue! What do you plan on growing in your gardens this Spring?

I'm really curious to hear what folks in other countries grow in their home flower and veggie gardens. We live in the Midwest, in the States, and here's what we'll have:



Loads of tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, and other bulbs my girls planted with me in the fall.



We'll plant zinnias, cosmos, morning glories, roses, along with butterfly bushes, stargazer lillies, daylillies, lilacs, mulberry bushes, and tons of other flowers.



Our veg garden will have loads of tomatoes, Indian corn (the girls love the colors), cucumbers, and some herbs. We have deer, rabbits, and bunnies, so lots of other veggies get nibbled down. :)



I was wondering what you all grow? How big are your yards? Ours is .78 acre which is 2,608 square meters . We usually start planting our spring gardens around Mother's Day in mid-May - is it the same for you?





Thanks so much! I can't wait to get the Spring Gardens going, and have always wondered what gardeners in other countries planted. :D

Hello English Friends across the Great Blue! What do you plan on growing in your gardens this Spring?
I prefer growing fruit %26amp; veggies rather than pretty things (that's my dad's job) but I have bought some Cosmos bulbs - the type that smell of chocolate.



This year, I am growing from seed -

Tomatoes (cherry and normal)

Physilis (aka cape gooseberry)

Runner beans

Haricot beans

Garlic (planted in December)

Mushrooms (from spores)

The physilis and tomatoes will be kept inside my greenhouse, although the tomatoes could live outside quite happily.



I also have (as perrenials) -

Lemon balm

Raspberries

Blackcurrants

Blackberries (more of a weed, we keep trying to get rid of them)

Mint

Thyme

Fennel

Strawberries



I also have a couple of pet chickens who lay eggs, and produce fertiliser :) I couldn't begin to list all the other, non edible plants in the garden, there are so many, but our garden is about 100 - 130 foot long and 15 - 20 foot wide. I have just planted the seeds for the tomatoes and physilis, but most others will have to wait a bit longer, once it has warmed up and we are no longer having frosts.



PS I'm in SW England.
