wow, that is so beautiful,. i love those tomatoes, and that zuchini you planted in a pot and grew to be like that? this reminds me i need to think of planting some seeds as well, you were asking about a seed suggestion. you can try thai basil, sometimes it’s called cinammon basil. it’s great for salads and asian recipes.and also easy to grow.

What great pictures of your bounty! I love to garden as well – and Stockholm looks similar to Oregon (at least where I’m from) in summer and winter!

I am envious of your garden! Very little grows well in our yard and with the heat the schedules are completely off. I still had tomoatoes in December!!

Love all the veggies you are thinking about!

Ptasia: Yes, I grew one courgette/squash plant in a large pot and I kept it there during the whole growth period. I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t get any female flowers and I wonder why it didn’t work out. I didn’t do anything special, I just watered and fertilized my plant. I hope you’ll give it a new try this year, good luck!

Mina: I’m sure that cilantro will grow well in a pot on a sunny windowsill. Good luck!

Pille: Thank you! I’m sorry to hear that last year wasn’t successfull. I look forward to hear more about your projects :-) I hope there will be some time for some vegetables! Good luck!!!

Pam: Yes, a large pot!

Scott: Good luck with the tomatoes!!!

Can Duman: I’ll make sure to post pictures! Thanks for the link!

Mar: Thank you so much!

Cammu: I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only one starting early :-)

Mine consists of a bunch of herbs and a few berry bushes. Not much room for anything else, but I might cover the patio & conservatory in tomatoes this year!

Dagmar, I have the same question as one of the previous posters: did you grow your squash (or specifically courgette, as I see in the pic) in a pot? It never occurred to me you could keep it in one for the whole growth period. Actually, so far I’ve only had one courgette attempt and it was a disaster: I put a whole bag of seeds into the soil, it sprouted plenty of plants and lovely yellow courgette flowers, but I never got any fruit, ’cause I had only male flowers! No female! I don’t know how it happened, there were plenty of insects, bumblebees etc. to transfer the polleb. Pathetic, especially after everyone told me courgettes are one of the easiest things to grow.

Hej;
I can’t wait to see how your garden will turn out. You have such a nice assortment of seeds, especially the tomatoes.
I hope you post images of the produce.
Just a recommendation: If you are interested in other tomato varieties, reimerseeds.com has an amazing selection. Worth a look.
