Who is growing edibles ?

We are growing peas, tomatoes and peppers. We have apple trees, cherry trees and blueberry bushes. If we are lucky, the deer will leave us some. One year they even ate my flowers from hanging baskets. Silly things! :-)

Yes I have a small garden and grow things in containers.

I have cherry tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, courgette and various herbs.

There are also berries - black, red, white, blue, straw and goose.

Despite the lousy weather in the UK all seem to be growing well. The peppers and aubergine are under cover.

I swap some things with friends who have an allotment where they have more room for the basics.

I also share some of my fruit with the birds but as they help keep the pests at bay it's a small price to pay.

Just basil for my homemade pizza. I live in a 16th floor condo so growing is limited to a very small area on my deck. Also, I have an Eastern exposure so many plants that need a lot of sunshine won't get it here. By 11 AM, the sun passes behind the building. It is great for keeping the place cool in the hottest part of the day, but plants need more sunshine.

I grow a few veggies and herbs; tomatoes, green beans, squash, and onions. I've already filled my refrigerator freezer and I don't have the equipment to "can" in jars. So right now, I have an excess of veggies that are going to waste. Where I live, I am isolated from friends. No one to swap with. Neighbors are few and they don't want to be bothered. But I enjoy gardening and it's a good way to get my daily exercise.

Nothing is doing well as my chickens keep eating everything.

The only things surviving the fowl are the punkins & the catnip & the thyme.

I don't swap, but I get food donated to me from neighbours who have a surplus.

I have a couple of oregano plants that are in plant holders that may survive too.

Lettuce, runner beans, tomatoes, strawberries, beet, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, onions, courgettes.

The cabbages, courgettes and broccoli have failed. I probably put them in too early and in the UK we had a disastrously wet and cold late March/April. I might try again for some winter growth.

Everything is a bit late this year.

The apples and redcurrants seem to be doing ok. I planted a cherry, plum and pear last year but a bit too early for them to start producing yet.

Heaps of stuff in pots. With us, you can always bet on that!

Every year we have very successful crops of tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, asparagus, apples, spinach, thyme, mint, sage, and a lot of edible marji*uana. (I'm not sure about how that word is supposed to be spelled in order to conform to what is considered proper usage by the Yahoo Rules and Regulations Team.)

Anyway, we are very, very "green" and we believe in "bartering," so, in order to serve Mother Earth, we always try to swap our marji* uana crop with our neighbors, who grow heaps of edible co*caine (spelling?). But despite our best efforts, we never know exactly how profitable our harvest will be. Because of the weather. Sometimes, a farmer's life is not a happy one.

Used to, Rox, when we had a house without wheels in Macclesfield up the hill. The Maccy Market was great, selling home grown, hand made and fair trade. But times change, na dmacclesfield is off the main drag, and we lost our momentum. Now we travel the country doing property minding all over Aus.

My tomatoes and zucchini squash.

I only have potted plants on the balcony and there's rarely enough to share with others...just not a lot of plants to share from.

No don't swap as everyone grows their own . I have just a few bush beans and a couple of squash and one rain gutter and window box with gourmet lettuce and the lettuce is going great guns. and it is not time for the other things.

We have a large garden.we've been eating, canning, and/or freezing asparagus broccoli,cabbage,radishes,beets,Swiss chard,cucumbers,strawberries, blackberries, and green beans. We got our first ripe tomato yesterday an have some pods growing on the okra.Squash,corn and purple hull peas will be later.

We swap some with our neighbor and trade some excess at the farmers market
