The picture below shows my latest attempt at growing a pineapple plant.  We’ll see what comes of it, but I do enjoy trying to get fruits and vegetables going, even if it’s in just a simple container.   I would really like to have a nice garden where I could plant several things, but where we live now really doesn’t give me a lot of opportunity to do that. 

Does anyone here keep any type of garden, and what types of items do you have in it?

Yup, I'll send it to Doc for a photoshopping before I post it.  However, the yard up the road is pretty well kept.

We have a few flowerbeds, some potted flowers outside here and there and two tomato plants. (All the veggies we can get away with. Park rules prohibit vegetable gardens.)

Since my wife is Mrs. Greenthumb we do in fact have a garden.  Both flower and vegetable gardens surround our home now.  A few years back (when my wife was still a member of the local garden club) we had only flowers and other beautiful (expensive...arrgh) plants.......even placed 2nd in a gardening competition.   We're too old for that now.  Plus eating garden fresh veggies beats the grocery store any day!  

 

 

EDIT:

As to what we grow.  Well the flowers are often varied from year to year and as we do live in Canuckistan most of our flowers are annuals.  The veggies we like to grow are things like green/yellow beans, zucchini, parisian romaine, lots of types of tomatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, spinach, peppers, onions and various types of herbs for use in all of those summer grilling recipes.   We gave up on things like cauliflower because it requires too long a growing season to really be viable up here for us.
