Auntie Em,

Geographical location? In GA we have year round gardens. So it depnds on
what time of year! If you like salads, do various greens, spinach, lettuce,
etc. Cilantro only grows in the winter here.

Soil type? We have clay so any long carrots do not do well.

Sunlight?

I agree with the others on herbs. If you cook, fresh herbs are the key.

Start modestly and expand!

Good Luck! And sorry if you are in Kansas...

John!

This coming season I will be planting my "first ever" garden! And
boy, am *I* excited.

Despite the fact that I will be also turning 50 next year, my
lifestyle has been such (until now) that I wasn't able to realize my
dream of having a garden.

The problem NOW is - Holy smoke! What do I plant? Sadly, I am not a
big vegtable eater so after carrots, radishes, peas, corn, tomatoes
(for my husband) and pumpkins (for halloween!!!), I am "fresh" out of
ideas.

Tell me what YOU grow in your garden to give me some ideas guys, won't
you?

Thanks in advance.

Em
Be careful what you wish for....
