OT: Anyone doing vegtable gardens… what’s in your garden.

Backyard wegetables gardens and community gardens are a good way to solve the food deserts problem.

I hate to state the obvious…but if there were a market for fresh fruits and vegetables in these areas someone would be selling them.

Many people in the south have historically had back yard gardens year round. Not sure if this is still the case with the current generation.

Russell – thanks for the lettuce tips. I was hoping the feral cat that hunts in our backyard would take care of any mice… But we’ll set out some traps too.

Our space to garden just shrunk since we got a dog. But we still have quite a few places that are not part of the main backyard, to put in plants.

We still have 2 tomato plants producing… but they’re looking like death other than the fruit they’re producing. It was a terrible summer for the tomatos here in University City. But our watermelons had languished then took off in September – we’ve got 2 more giant melons we need to go pick. We’ve been eating on the one we just picked this weekend – super sweet and yummy.

Hey Ucgal, One more lettuce tip. You can just start a mass planting in a pot and tease them apart when they are about two inches tall. Learned it on youtube, it works. It’s a great time to start. You can start them outdoors now or in a nice southern window sill.
