Tomatoes!!! Mmmmm :)
I just love all of the trinkets and fun things you have on this website! One of my most favorites is the lavendar garden in a bag. I love the way lavendar smells and I love that I can grow it in my NYC apartment!
I love growing daisies! They are so bright and happy, they always make my day better!
SUNFLOWERS! i dig a trench by the fence and sprinkle several types of sunflower seeds along the whole trench. a few weeks later big, little, red, yellow and orange sunflowers grace my garden.
sunflower trench=pure happiness. :-)
(catching fireflies = pure happiness too)
I love growing herbs. It’s so nice so have my own supply of fresh herbs whenever I need them!
EVEN THOUGH MY LAST NAME IS ROSE, MY FAVORITE THING TO GROW IS PANSIES.THEY ARE SO PRETTY IN THE SPRING, STAY NICE IN THE SUMMER, FADE AWAY A LITTLE AND THEN REAPPEAR IN THE FALL JUST BEFORE WINTER COMES. THEY REALLY PUT COLOR AND FUN INTO THE YARD!
I love growing fresh organic vegetables so we can go “shopping” in our own backyard!

How much fun is this?! We just moved to a house with a great yard. My two girls just finished planting their first real garden and are finally starting to see their reward…we’ve got sunflowers sprouting already. They can’t wait to get out there to pick tomatoes, peppers, herbs and if we are lucky our watermelon & pumpkin will grow.
Tomatoes!! Can’t get enough!
I love to grow potatoes — I’ve yet to taste a supermarket spud that rivals the taste of a freshly-dug potato from my own garden!
I love my lilacs!
I like to plant beefsteak and cherry tomatoes in pots three stories up on my deck.The open air and sunshine produce quality fruit.
Carrots. They are like a little surprise when you take them out!
love to grow fresh herbs , peppermint, rosemary, basil and now my 6 yr old grandson wants to grow a garden, so we are trying out cucumbers ,tom and sunflowers for him to tend to. also we bought him some strwberry plants to grow , can’t wait!!!!
Strawberries – they just make me happy:)
I love growing tomatoes, strawberries, peonies & lilacs. I just love to grow stuff!
I don’t have a green thumb, but I always try and grow herbs:)
I like planting bulbs that are a suprise every spring when they appear.
I love my lilacs and my rose of sharon bushes. Wish I had the soil to grow tomatoes. There’s nothing like a great fresh tomato.
Flowers and herbs are my favorites, but mostly I love to grow dreams and friendships. Your store inspires both! thanks
Herbs are what I am growing. I hope to do well with your inspiration

I love planting trees from seed and watching them grow big and tall. My two boys and I gave my husband a tree for Father’s Day a couple years ago that had started growing in our sandbox. They planted it together and it is so neat to watch it grow as our children do.
Favorite thing to grow? Most definitely mint. I love mojitos!!! P.S. I shared on FB too! :)
Tomatoes!
My favorites to grow are for my cutting garden, so that I have flowers year round to place in vases around the house and bring nature inside. Zinnias, ranunculus, cosmos, Icelandic poppies, snapdragons.
I love to grow lovely decorative grasses. I dont like to pick weeds so I got a bunch of lovely decorative large pots and each summer I plant several different varieties of tall flowy decorative grasses and put the pots all around my patio. Its lovely to sit out in the hot summer with a tall glass of iced tea and enjoy the pretty grasses waving in the wind…best part? NO WEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF!!!
My daughter and I love haveing a vegetable garden each year. Our favorite thing to plant are tomotoes and a variety of herbs
In addition to old fashioned wild flowers, I love watching my 7 year old daughter grow and become a budding gardener herself!
Japanese eggplant. They are SO buttery and delicious. I love the color too!
Every year we plant new perennials. This year it’s Goat’s Beard, raspberries, and something called – I kid you not – Gay Butterflies Butterfly Bush. Have pansies that came back from last year, too. Thanks for your inspiration!
I love growing tomatoes!!!
Roses!! I also love having a vegetable garden, there is something so satisfying about going outside to cut off lettuce for lunch….mmmm can’t wait!
My two little girls and I grow milkweed and attract monarchs. The females butterflies lay eggs all summer and we always collect a few ‘babies’ that we feed milkweed leaves and watch them morph into beautiful butterflies. It is so fun!
Hostas – even I can’t kill them!
I’m not the greatest gardner but I always loved helping my grandma. She had the most amazing peonies ever. I did semi-sucessfully grow strawberries last summer last summer and boy did I love that!

This beginner gardener loves ornamental grasses… they’re easy, can be split to spread the next season, and add some spunk to our house when viewed from the road.
Definitely herbs-especially basil and lavender!

Happy summer to everyone…MaryBeth
I love planting pretty flowers :)
Weeds :( haha.
When I was a little girl, my dad always had a vegetable garden that took up the entire backyard of our postage stamp sized lot. He planted every type of veggie imaginable. We helped weed, water and cultivate our family garden. We had a great appreciation of ‘fresh’ in our home, he didn’t let us pick the corn until the water was boilling! My dad gave us the best gift a parent can give a child, which is a love of all things “earth”. Today, I grow sunflowers and herbs with my children.
Wildflowers, especially with the help of my young daughters, they make it so much fun!
I like to grow anything that will LIVE! :) I’ve got a bunch of seeds ready to go this year, so hopefully I’ll have a garden full of tomatoes, peppers, carrots, pumpkins and watermelons!
So many things! Colleus are my favorite non flowering non edible…edible fruit is raspberries, ebible plant is basil or lavender, fav non scented flower is ranculus!
I love to plant an herb garden every year so that all summer long I can enjoy cooking with fresh herbs:)
My favorite thing to grow is fresh herbs for great summer dinners and cocktails :)
I love to grow Strawberries! Easy to grow, pretty, and fun for the kids, too.
I love growing basil to make bruschetta all summer long! YUM!
Apparently I’m very accomplished at growing weeds ;)
I like flower gardening, and growing herbs in pots. Will be trying my hand at veggies this year!! I’ve shared this on fb and Twitter, too!
At our house, our favorite item to grow are tomotoes – heirloom, beefsteak, cherry -you name it. When ripe, we send our three children out with baskets and let them do the picking. Truly a family event that we ALL love.
My mother is my mentor and she would always tell me that the rule of thumb to planting flowers is after Mother’s Day (we’re pretty much guaranteed not to have frost in Michigan after late May). So it’s a family tradition that EVERY YEAR my brother and I always plant pansies with her on Mother’s Day (in her front yard), and I look forward to it all year. Pansies are my favorite to grow – not only because they are so adorable and easy to maintain, but they have a special meaning with memories to last a lifetime!
I love watching the lily of the valley grow.
