I went and started the weeding yesterday... a lettuce escaped the deer cage - and the deer - and is growing by itself! Lol! I have lettuce!

And dill and fennel. They’ve reseeded themselves.

I have a decidedly brown thumb, do no gardening for me. But I’ll enjoy every one’s garden remotely

Rachy, I learned the celery thing online but then I figured any of the vegetables that look like a rose when you cut off the "stump" would behave the same way, and so they do.

Just cut off the stump of your celery, lettuce, bok choy, whatever you have that has a rose-like structure at its base. Put it in a little water -- not too much or they'll rot -- and leave them alone in a sunny spot. Lettuce is quick but celery and bok choy take about a week then can be planted in dirt.

Count me in. I need to open a few more garden beds. It may be late to start seeds, so may need to find plants.
Produce is getting more expensive by the day and once covid hits the farm belt it is going to be in our best interest to grow a victory garden.

I started my tomatoes inside yesterday, along with New Mexico Big Jim peppers. They are a little hotter than regular Anaheims. Just now I planted carrots, radishes, spinach, lettuce, arugula, and broccoli raab outside. I covered both beds with nylon netting. I hope a certain someone doesn’t decide to lay on them.

Okay, here's today's photo of the little guys you saw in water when I first started them now in dirt. They grow up fast...

yes, We have a large garden and we are lucky to have space in the suburbs. lots of fruit trees: apples, cherries, pears, plums, figs. We grow most of the veggies that do well in the NW: greens, berries, tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, chard, beans, broccoli, carrots etc. We freeze, can, pickle & make salsa each year.

Right now Im feeling pretty thankful for that, and our little garden chickens eat what we don't & give us great eggs.
We are fortunate to have learned our gardening skills, not everything succeeds--the raccoons, birds, rodents eat what they can, but we usually end up with a lot and can share with neighbors.

There have been food shortages in Italy, and I imagine they will appear here in time. Shipping, planting/harvesting & distribution routes have all been affected by the virus and I think it will show up eventually in our supply availability. I am reminding myself of what our grandparents did during the war & how we can prepare for uncertain times.

I would love to have any kind of garden but I live in the woods and it is not possible. I do grow herbs in pots on my deck but I do wonder sometimes if that is a good idea. I have bears and other wildlife wandering around in my yard and they might think the herbs are for them.

Style Fan, herbs help with bears’ bad breath.

@April, those are nice! I will do that with my next celery bunch.
I do that with scallions, leeks and I am trying with a carrot although it may need to have some of the green on top.
I am planting any scallions I use for my prep.

I love the sound of dill and fennel, Rachy!
I'm a terrible gardener with no interest or talent and little space, but like a few of you, have started to grow what we call spring onions in water.
