So, How Does YOUR Garden Grow?

[Editor's Note:  Gardens and Gardening have been the topic of quite a few stories over the years. Many family members have thumbs greener than the Jolly Green Giant. MrsB thought it would be great fun to start a combined or carousel topic about how everyone's garden is doing, both the good, the bad, and the gophers. So here's the first installment.]

My garden at the moment consists of two pots of dying chrysanthemum plants and one healthy Christmas cactus.

KimB's Herb Pot  03/05/2011
My 6 container pot garden has 2 tomatoes 2 potatoes[red and white taters] and 12 strawberry plants[6 in each pot] plus 1 small strawberry pot with herbs. One of my tomatoes has 4 FOUR marble sized tomatoes!

My herb pot has oregano, golden oregano, spicy oregano, parsley, basil and garlic chives growing from the pockets and trailing rosemary from the top. Hopefully by the time the side pocket herbs die off the rosemary will be cascading over the sides.

[Editor's Note: Contact MrsB if you would like to include your updates. Gardens can be anything from a potted African Violet to a full force multi-row garden. Successes and failures are both great topics.]
