One of the finer arts of man; gardening is one of our greatest achievements. It brings food, beauty, and most of all: pride.

Home-grown strawberries are the best

We have a large garden at our home.
Our lettuce is pretty good, but...
Most of the stuff we're growing right now is tomatoes, and both my brother and I hate them.

We have a crapton of stuff growing in our garden. :V Multitudes of flowers, chives, garlic, beetroot, strawberries, blueberries, radishes, lettuce, carrots, chillies... we never used to pay much attention to it but then one day my mum and stepdad suddenly became obsessed with gardening. :B

My dad made himself a garden last fall and it's been the greatest thing ever. Right now we have okra (with over 9ft tall plants wat), purple-hull peas (that are winding down and are about to die actually,) cucumbers, jalapeños, banana peppers, chili peppers, two different kind of tomatoes, cantaloupe, blackberries, strawberries (that never made any berries bigger than my thumbnail but it's not dead yet lol,) and a herb pot with like...oregano and mint and thyme in it.

we did have yellow squash but some kind of parasite got in them and they all died D:

i really want apple and peach trees but my dad doesn't want to deal with fruit trees, baw. homegrown fruits are amazing :c

Every year, I water and tend to my neighbor's garden when she's away.

She lets me take the tomatoes that have reddened and will just get rotted if I leave them, hells yea.

Her garden is gorgeous it always intimidates me to be given the responsibility to keep them alive.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.
We have an orange tree in our backyard, too, and we get a whole buncha oranges from it each year. (around Jan-Feb)
We have an avocado tree too but they're not that great so we don't eat 'em often. We usually buy lots from the store.
My family is all about the guacamole, man.

We used to have an apple tree, but it's just a stump nowadays. :c We used to collect the apples and give them to my nana, who'd make them into apple pies <3

The cherry trees in my back garden actually bore fruit for the first time ever this year.

I think it made the birds pop flyin'.
