Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

Nice work Jude, carrots are my nemesis.  One day I'll master them.  Last season wasn't too bad.  My silverbeet is still going strong from last year, have some new seedlings growing to replace the old

Ours are usually terrible too. We grew these in big old apple crates.  I have a lot of little seedlings  in the family room where it is very sunny. They are doing well. Had some in the veg patch but there are slugs there so are putting out something to get rid of them.  They ate my lettuce seedlings .  Love hearing about everyone's gardens!

The house we're in was left to us by my aunt who was a very keen gardener. She must have had at some stage some pawpaw trees. After the drought broke up came these seedlings.. which just grew and grew.  Last year this was our one treasured pawpaw..
This year....those two "stalks" of trees have done a little better!!!
Also behind them are two more...
I love "feral" gardens!!

Those Paw Paw look great Goldfish.  I'm hoping this year I will get to try Mulberries, will keep my fingers crossed.

Would love to be able to grow tropical fruit but unless we build a big green house it's not going to happen.  Let us know when they ripen and what you do with them - so lucky GF

Planted baby cos seedlings and the slugs have eaten all but about 4 plants over night.  Not happy

Got my mini corn and zucchini seeds in today.  This year decided to start them off in jiffy pots which will them be planted into the garden.

I love my veggie garden although I call it a kitchen garden because its as much about herbs and fruit as veggies. It feeds my husband and I for most of our veggies, and I'm really looking forward to berries this summer. I have loganberry, boysenberry, raspberry, blueberries, gooseberry and of course strawberries. Six months ago it was all lawn- just a suburban backyard.

I've just started a veggie patch so will be reading this thread for advice. We have toms, lettuce and strawberries as seedlings and then I planted seeds of carrot, radish, beans, cucumbers, capsicum, beets, spinache, basil, rosemary, chives and oregano. Hope those toms start growing soon. At almost $9 a kilo in woollies yesterday we'll be broke in no time!

What lovely gardens you all have. I have the space to plant but unless I cover it all over the possums and wombats attack it.
I have several pots close to the house which Harry the Hound keeps univited guests at bay.
