Spring is here and I thought to myself "what's the best way to take advantage of this season?" Gardening came to mind. I have gardened before but I stopped. I came up with a brilliant idea to use the horrible, dry, dead, piece of land and made it into my new garden. I removed all those rocks and use fresh, and new soil
What did I plant? Pumpkins, butternut squashe, tomatoes, basil, peppers, early white bush scallops, honeydew melons, lettuce, and celery. They are doing really well. They are big and have a very green hue. I caught an iguana trying to eat the luttuce yesterday and blocked it off temporarily with the pool fence until I go to Home Depot tomorrow to get a real fence.
Anyone else have gardens? I'll post pictures of mine in a couple of days.

@Erik, yes. They are grown. I recently planted the (forgot to mention) corn, basil, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Everything else is grown beside for those.
@Stephanie, I didn't count how much of everything I have. I just planted a double the amount of seeds in case some didn't grow and chose the ones that were the strongest. I left about 3-4 of the plants that took a lot of room and more plants for the ones that took less. I'm planting the pumpkins and butternut squash vertically. I had to borrow the aviary supplies (the door, and I made trellis myself out of 2 long perches, cage wire, and attached two wooden perches horizontally on the top and bottom to keep it from curling.)
@Carolyn, I have a pomegranate tree as well. My grandfather planted it. It's in the middle of my garden actually. It wasn't doing to well (barely any water and just some dry sand and rocks for soil.) I did change it though so hopefully we get some pomegranates too. I am also preparing an avocado seed from kitchen scraps from planting as well. It's right now half way in water getting ready to sprout for planting. While in Home Depot tomorrow, I'll pick up some more soil and use a plant pot to have the avocado tree in. Unfortunately, there's no room in my garden for another tree.

I live in apt complex and have deck. so last year I had small veggie garden for Sweet Pea. the following was planted peas, carrots, wheat grass, green beans, parsley, lettuce, basil. it was good year, plus I dried a lot of herbs for the bird for the winter. I also dried carrot tops for her also. I have gotten my seeds for this summer already. spinach, zucchini, cucumbers, oregano, parsley, peas, carrots, green beans, broccoli and lettuce. the pots have to get warm enough before I start planting.

Cool!
@Carolyn, after I read your post, I trimmed the tree. It looks much better now!
