My family gardens every year! I come from a long line of farmers..I just think my green thumb got lost somewhere...lol! My parents plant tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelon, squash and various varietys of peppers as well. They have a lot of know how to make it work.

Kansas can be a hard climate/enviornment to grow in because of the weather changes. With a little knowledge though you can do well.

This is my first year in my own home and I had been toying with the idea of a full on garden because I have a fantastic yard for it. My issue is the little varments that have homes in the back. IE all of the crazy bunnies! I didnt want to put up fencing because I am lazy so I was researching other ways to go about it.

Some tips that I found, the one that was most interesting to me was the suggestion of planting a double row of green onions around the entire garden, which will keep bunnies away. Supposedly because they dont like green onions. Another interesting suggestion was to put dog hair all around the garden to scare the bunnies away, but quite frankly that just sounds gross.

My final decision was container gardening. Small scale and then next year with some planning I hope to have a nice size garden. This year however, I am growing a couple of different varieties of tomatoes, including cherry tomatoes. I chose some big decorative pots that I am keeping on my back patio. I also have done various planters and hanging baskets of pretty colorful flowers to spruce up my house. So far the tomatoes look like they are going well. I have been taking pictures of my progress and will post them here as the summer goes on.

What a great idea for a thread pink! thank you!

As a side note if all of these tomatoes come out the way they are supposed to I am going to have to do a lot of salsa/canning so if yall want some you should call dibs soon
