Used to when I was a kid. Tomatoes, okra, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, herbs. I've been in the gardening center at Wal-Mart debating on planting something soon, though.

we've got tons of mint, plus some chives, basil and thyme.

we get our vegetables through a farm share during the summer, so I don't plant much at home.

I've got tomatoes, bell peppers and jalepenos started. Be careful with the mint. It will grow like a weed.

Mint (mojitos ) and some peppers. As soon as I move back to Louisiana, and get out of this tiny apt. I hope to have myself a nice small garden.

We grow tomatoes, yellow squash, eggplant, red and green bell peppers, okra, cucumbers, parsley, green onions, mirliton, and cauliflower. All in raised box garden. We place the "crawling" plants on the edge and support with a lattice.
