The Green Thumb/Gardening Thread

Are you into gardening? Got any garden projects for this year? Or maybe you're trying it out for the first time? Maybe you have some favourite plants? I wanna hear about them!

I myself currently don't have a garden but I would like to plant some herbs in a window box planter that hangs from the fence outside. Went to the garden center today but all they had ready was rosemary, so I got that for now while I wait for some other herbs to grow a little more. Plan is to get basil, oregano, and thyme! I grew basil and sage last year and the basil really flourished; I hardly knew what to do with it all I'll need to leave the planter inside for a while before I actually leave them outside, because we have tons of squirrels around that will dig up all the dirt. Learned my lesson last year!

I tried one year here in Colorado, but since we can get snow well into June at times, the growing season is very short!! I hate it... I was quite the gardener when I lived in California.

Also, anything that does grow, is destroyed by squirrels. My parents gave me a bottle of some kind of predator urine to spray on the flower and vegetable plants, but it apparently had a leak and spilled in the trunk of my car.

I never found any squirrels in my trunk, so maybe it works
