Hi ladies I have just put about 7 or 8 herbs into seperate pots. They are sitting on the deck and are doing very well at the moment and look very decorative.

tomatoes, peas, and red onions. beans and capsicum will go in soon, lettuce on the back door step.
I'm off to night school to do a edible vege garden class as i've no idea what to plant, and when to plant it. We also have apple and plum trees, a bit bare at the moment.

Its rare for me to see fruit on my Strawberry plants, Something or someone keeps stealing them hehe Even eating the green ones 
Recently I planted a peach tree & acquired a passion fruit plant in the weekend that needs planting out.
At the moment, in regards to herbs, i have rosemary, parsley & thyme scattered around in my flower/weed garden or in pots. But id love to grow corriander(which always seems to die on me )
Then eventually i will plant out my summer vege once i know the frost is well & truly gone. Probably stuff like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, capsicums, cucumber, corn, zucchini etc. What ever i can get my hands on
I love watching things grow

At the moment just the odd weed and a huge strawberry patch that has fruit. We are about to plant potatoes (just about ready to go in) and then the middle of next month I will be doing seeds (to transfer into the garden) of brocolli, lettuce, cauli, cabbage, corn, zuccini's, capsicums. Later on I will plant seeds of beetroot, radishes, peas, beans, spring onions and carrots in as well.

in our garden we have:
rhubarb, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries, cocktail kiwifruit, blueberries, blackcurrents, lemons and limes.
peas, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, silverbeet, lettuce, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, courgettes, and dh is working on getting some grape vines all trained up.
of course most of it is dormant at the moment, but will take off again in summer. poor dh is heartbroken at the thought of losing all his hard work when we sell the house. he is planning on taking cuttings of it all soon.

Vege garden? What's a vege garden?
We have a beanstalk in a pot that Maya planted at preschool which I haven't managed to kill - yet! I'm not the world's best gardner, probably somewhere closer to the worst. I'm amazed at how fast the beanstalk is growing tho!

it sounds better than it is. at our last house we built a deck and decided to have potted fruit on it, with the idea that xanthe could go and help herself to fruit whenever she wanted. we also had a pear tree right next to the deck.
then we sold up, and had pots and pots of plants to lug with us.
dh bought a glass house and then decided to turn half our back lawn into a vege garden as well. so we have lots but it is great most of the time - apart from when i feel like carrot sticks and dip and have to go out digging to get the carrots!

one live and one dead swan plant, and the strawberries that seem to thrive when no one looks after them but no fruit at the mo, that i have seen anyway.
hubby always does the garden and we will have tomatoes, big ones and lots of cheery (my fave) and capsicum and broccoli and whatever else takes his fancy. but half of it prob wont amount to much unfortunately.

ummm parts of a dead cow i think. sorry discusting i know but our dog has managed to gather a excellent collection of bones that are scattered around.there might be some wild mint in the vege patch though.
other then that i know there is a lemon tree, and i think there is a pear,apple and maybe some peach trees around here somewhere. and my roses are doing ok after being moved.
we will hopefully be moving outta this horrible house at the end of the season so there isnt really any point to us doing the garden all nice and spending heaps of money on it.
sucks having to move nearly every year. oh well one day we will own our own farm *wanders off dreaming about being a rich dairy farmer with a nice garden*

We've got strawberries, purple broc, leeks, spinach, brussel sprouts and rainbow chard. Herbs are italian parsley, rosemerry, oragano, mint and . Fruit trees are lemon, fijoa, blackboy peach (my favorit) and 2 apples.
Everything is sort of snap frozen at the moment. Come spring I'll chuck some tomatoes, basil, coriander, abergine, courgets and capsicin in the tunnel house. Spuds, lettuce, and beans as well.
I love gardening!

*thread bumped for me*
We have just more to Gisborne, and once we have cleaned all the junk, including the old loo, from the backyard,...I want to start a vege garden!
I am an extemely novice gardener,...ie- the extent of my gardening skills is occaionaly watering indoor plants and managaing to keep a few alive!
Any tips or hints would be very gratefully appriciated! We are aiming to have the garden ready to plant in, in about March,...so basically at the moment I need to know if there is anything I can be doing now,..like planting seeds in pots or something in preparation!
Would eventually love to have,...potatoes, spinach, brocolli, calui, carrots, cos type lettuce, cherry tomatoes, strawberries,...YUM!
TIA
