Can’t get anything to grow? Try chives. Ours come back each year bigger than ever. Of course, one cannot survive on chives alone…

We used to grow veggies in large pots on a townhouse patio. Now we have a tiny house with our own tiny garden, and what the rabbits, squirrels, birds and ducks don’t get, we keep. Neighbors use rabbit wire around their bounty – it’s not unsightly and does the trick.

I have garden envy. I can’t seem to get anything to grow :(

I can so relate! I go out every day to check on the “kids” (as I call them), and there are lots and lots of tomatoes, but they’re all green. When oh when will I see a little red; just a little to let me know the eventuality of ripeness is around the corner. Sigh….

My basil (both Thai and Sweet)…well, that is growing like a weed, as it should be. :o)

We grow all types of tomatoes in our garden. We can’t wait either, Amy.

Melissa – love fresh basil, too. I make my own pesto sauce every year and freeze a ton of it.

Mike – Oh, yes we have huge rabbit, squirrel, and bird problems. My love affair ended with all of them a few years ago when they completely destroyed everything and it was too late in the season to start over.

Paul, husband and jack of all trades, built me wonderful wooden/wire cages (with doors, even!) to keep the critters out, but allow me easy access. No more problems. For me, anyway.
