I planted about 100 seeds today in lil seed starter pots.

Cherry Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Yellow Squash
Green Peppers
Sweet Peppers
Lemon Drop Hot Peppers (idk if these will actually grow. It'd be cool if they did though!)
Green beans
Butternut squash

Still gotta get zucchini seeds, sunflower seeds, and some more marigold seeds.

I was gunna order them off that site, steffe, but my grandpa had already bought all these seeds, unbeknownst to me :p

Yum!! I just bought a bunch more seeds from seedsnow. Couldn't help myself!!

I bought this book today: http://www.amazon.com/Grow-Great-Gru...row+great+grub

Can't wait to start reading it!! I have lots to learn.

I am kind of a frugal gardener, and find different ways to grow things. If you are limited on space you can use PVC pipe to grow numerous things. If you are not real handy you can use pallets to make raised beds out of, most of the time you can pick these up for free.

Here is what we have planted so far this year.
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Peas
Green beans
Squash
Okra
Corn
Kale
Lettuce
Banana peppers
Bell peppers numerous types
Red peppers
Jalapeno peppers
Watermelon
Cantalope
A whole bunch of herbs and spices
Radish
Strawberries
Pineapples these take a while
And a bunch more stuff, plus more to plant yet

I will upload pics shortly.

Pictures please!! :D

Here a few pictures of one of my set ups, this is not all of the stuff we have growing.

Thanks, I will get pictures of some of my other stuff this weekend.

I cut an arch/half moon then took a propane torch and heated it up enough to bend the pipe then just let it cool and it leaves your opening and something to support the plants and yes those are strawberries. Most everything in this set up was free or close to it. I repurposed the following in that set up, trampoline, pallets, PVC, flower holders from my funeral home days, old plastic barrels, wire, closet rod.

That is really awesome! I'm eventually going to make some raised planters.. Still trying to figure out how I am going to do that. I would love to use re/upcycled material.. I'm sure I could find some palets or at least some scrap wood :) As long as I can do it all with a drill and some minor table sawing sawing I can make just about anything.. lol

Or make someone cut it for me.. ;)
