What’s your favorite type of plants to grow? Flowers, vegetables, berry bushes, trees or shrubs?
I really don’t have a favorite and I’ll try almost anything. I spend most of my time concerting of the vegetables but probably enjoy the flowers more. But I really like eating the berries while I’m watering. In fact most of the berries never make it to the kitchen.
So what’s your favorite?

This morning was plant and seed catalog ordering day. After spending sixweeks reviewing all the catalogs I’ve received I went with just one for the whole order, Gurney’s. I’ve had good luck with Gurney’s in the past and I couldn’t beat their $25 early order discount.
We plan on really expanding the vegetable gardens this year so I ordered things I never have before. I’m also adding lots of berry’s this year. I had good luck with the raspberries that I planted last year and will be adding more of them along with blueberries and blackberries.
Since most of my flower beds are pretty well established I just ordered a few seed packs.
Everything should start arriving in a couple of weeks. Shortly after that the real work will begin.

OK, maybe not a real farm, but at least five to ten acres. I want enough room to have vegetable beds and greenhouses. There are so types of vegetables and fruits and berries that I would love to grow and eat. I would like fruit trees. I don’t have any place to put any now without cutting down elm trees that range in age from 100 to 35 years old.
I would really love to have chickens and goats. Our town won’t let us have either in the town limits. I would need enough space to keep them seperate from our dogs.
I guess I shouldn’t complain. I know I have a lot more room to garden than say someone living in an apartment in the inner city. I do have a greenhouse and vegetables beds, I just can’t grow everything I’d like. I can keep buying fresh eggs and milk from the local farmers. Now all I need to do is find a friend with fruit trees and trade with them.
