How about a little resurrection? While I do not actively grow anything edible in my garden except for rhubarb, I'd like to say, that I'm getting a giant sequoia soon. Oh, and can anyone give me some pointers on what to grow in a cool temperate/arctic zone.

Resurrected. Also, I see Bear choose to send the thread to the graveyard rather than tidying up his garden and taken pics of it. The DAMNed

I would like to bring this one back, too. I've got a ton of garden stuff to talk about.

@Iceman: There are plenty of cool-season plants that should grow fine where you are. Your best bet would probably be greens, like lettuce, spinach, or kale. Anything in the cabbage family would be good, too. I've seen pictures of 30-40 pound heads of cabbage that were grown in Alaska. The growing season is short, but the length of the days makes up for that.

It's alive, but it's not active yet.

Today is my favorite milestone of the gardening season. I picked the first ripe tomato out of my garden. I've had a couple of bacon and tomato sandwiches with tomatoes from the farmers market, but I think the first homegrown is going to be served with cottage cheese (my favorite summer "salad").

I've got 25 tomato plants, of 8 varieties, so I'll have more than I know what to do with soon. The same with cucumbers (8 plants), squash (6 plants), and peppers (hopefully). I have 6 varieties of peppers, 27 plants, both hot and sweet. Most of them haven't started producing anything yet. I think it's been too wet this year. We are starting to get some really hot weather, so that should help.

My garden grows very well because of all the corpses in it....

Not really. I'm not sure how this plant in my room survives. I think I haven't watered it in a month.

The garden here has been taken over by 2+ meter tall nettles. <_<

THERE ARE MOTHER FUCKING FROGS IN OUR MOTHER FUCKING POND AND I HATE THEM. The plants in our pond are overgrown, so like a million frogs laid like a million eggs in the pond and now those fuckers are huge. (I swear to God there are some that are easily four inches long, which is about 3 inches longer than I'm comfortable with). And every damn time I leave the house, normally at like 6 o'clock because God knows I'm totally awake and prepared for anything at 6 in the frikkin' morning, one of them will jump out of the pond at my feet and I freak out. Guh.

TL;DR: My garden grows frogs. Hopefully it will soon grow even better thanks to the multiple frog corpses I intend on installing under the plants.

Look on the bright side, at least it's not a million moskitos .

This year, my garden grew Prize winning tomatoes And Zucchini Mine's the one on the left, with the blue ribbon. This is the first year I've entered anything in the county fair.

I've got watermelons on a trellis, but they get only about as big as a tennis ball and then shrivel and fall off.

Haven't figured out what's going on yet.

nutrients or maybe the seeds themselves?

Or the fact that you have then on a trellis? Watermelon are generally ground growers.

I got the trellis idea from pinterest, seems a lot of people grow watermelon, and other fruits and veggies this way.

I considered that, so I added compost which I've been accumulating, but it will be a few days, or maybe a couple weeks before I see a change from this.

As for the seeds, they were from an heirloom seed company.

Interesting. Never seen or heard of watermelon being grown that way.

I think I may have not been watering the watermelon's enough, so I'm going to try watering them once a day, instead of once every two or three, and give it week to see if I notice any changes.

Before and After. Trust The Saw!!!
