Victory Gardening

Mother Nature certainly isn't co-operating with spring planting this year. No problem setting the broccoli out in the garden patch, but have had to keep my squash and tomato seedlings indoors too long.

Anybody else here growing their own vegetables?

I for one am proud that the Obamas have started a garden at the White House!

I tried a carrot patch once and it didn't work out!! My garden floods way too easily!! What other vegetables are you growing? Sounds like loads of fun!

Currently in the ground: parsnips, peas, radishes, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, scallions.

Carrots demand deep tilling or spading to be successful (kind of like parsnips). That, and even, consistant watering. Floods coupled with drought periods make them crack and taste weird. You might have better luck with those if you had a raised bed to plant them in. That way, poor drainage (flooding) wouldn't be an issue.

why say that.
