Hi everyone!

I'm interested in making my own garden (someday) and it got me to thinking about what everyone grows or would like to grow in their own home garden.

Personally, I'd like to have some fresh seasonings like garlic, dill, and basil. Currently, I'm in a more temperate zone, so maybe some seasonals like tomatoes in the summer and having squash or pumpkins in the fall.

I've never actually worked in a garden before so it would all be new to me.

Tomatoes are my #1 pick. They're just so much better than store bought. Most other produce doesn't have nearly the same quality gap.

Otherwise it's mianly for convenience and sustainability. I'll be doing mostly lettuce and herbs this year I think. Lots of basil, and dill then some thyme and rosemary as well.

I started to appreciate tomatoes more recently after making homemade sauce for pasta. It's so much better having fresh ingredients!

If you want to make sauce, definitely grow a paste tomato like San Marzano. More flavour, less goop. Check out an heirloom seed website like this one founded by vegans for more paste tomato options.
