I never had any interest in growing edible things, except blueberries when I lived in Pennsylvania. Then one year I picked a couple of herb plants up at the supermarket, herbs I liked to eat fresh, and planted them in my flower garden. When I picked fresh herbs off my plants and put them into our food for dinner and served it, I suddenly was overwhelmed with the greatest feeling. I suddenly felt like a really good mom! So I had to admit, "Hmmm. Maybe I'd enjoy gardening more than I thought." When we moved to Colorado two years ago, I had a perfect garden spot, so now I'm growing lots of edibles: rhubarb, raspberries, strawberries, squash, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, peppers, snow and sugarsnap peas, and lots of herbs. I'm especially proud of my cilantro and Thai basil this year.

Welcome to the site! Sounds like you've become quite a gardener!

Ethel,

That is quite a list. Im in awe as my vegetable garden only has tomatoes, peppers and one lonely watermellon. I am hoping to extend next year so may be looking to you for advice. I grew up in CO and remember my mom always grew strawberries.

Welcome to the group.

Hello,

Have your grown all of these wonderful things organically? I am very interested in veges, etc. that are grown without chemical fertilizers.

Thanks for your response and welcome to this site!!
