Your own Garden (slrpnk.net)

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in making my own garden (someday) and it got me to thinking about what everyone grows or would like to grow in their own home garden.

Personally, I'd like to have some fresh seasonings like garlic, dill, and basil. Currently, I'm in a more temperate zone, so maybe some seasonals like tomatoes in the summer and having squash or pumpkins in the fall.

I've never actually worked in a garden before so it would all be new to me.

I only have a balcony, but you can already grow some things with a small raised bed.

As others said, tomatoes work great (if there's enough sunlight), especially on balconies, as tomatoes don't handle rain too well often.

I had some good results with green beans (special cultivars for pots), salads, herbs (like basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary) and cabbages, but there are cabbage butterflies that really love to eat them (and a lot of it). But I sill had some success, especially when planting pak-choi in fall and harvesting it in early winter.
