Thank you for sharing this list Trellum
My mom used to grow squash, she was great at it. We always had more squash than we needed![]()
I'm glad you liked it, Claudine

I don't know. I think I'll try to grow sqash too, but I'm not ready to do it yet. Just looking at her garden breaks my heart, I think I need more time.I'm glad you liked it, ClaudineWill you ever try growing squash as well, I bet she'd have liked if you gave it a try. Plus you can make so many things with squashes! You can make quesadillas with the squash flowers, also a nice soup, squash spaghetti, you can use it in salads, you can also make some of it with corn, tomato, onion and a bit of cheese
We loved eating that at home.
The funny thing is that just about all elementary students in the schools around here begin to learn about plant life by growing beans in a cup at school. They love to watch their little plants grow and get to learn about the life cycle.Thanks for the info, I think we should all take noteI think I was wrong when I saw my first edible was cucumbers, now that I think well and hard about it... it was actually beans! I didn't really remember that though, because I was very little when I started experimenting with beans
It all started with a school project.
Nice, @Corzhens! I love to grow things from cuttings, because that process makes gardening so much easier. I actually have a preference for the plants that can be propagated by cuttings and not only by seeds. I actually hate growing things by seeds, unless we are talking about cucumbersI've almost no experience with growing edibles (other than cucumbers).
From the leftover vegetables, I sometimes plant ginger, garlic, mustard and some other vegetables that can grow from cuttings. But the mustard has some roots left and that stump is what I plant after taking away the leaves that we eat. When there is a rotting onion, I also plant that to have spring onions for free. My small vegetable patch in the backyard has a lot of local spinach now, so easy to plant from cuttings.

My boyfriend loves squash soup, I'd like to cook it for him![]()
That is also one very easy vegetable to plant corzhens and I absolutely like sweet potatoes too and cuttings are indeed an easy way to grow plants. Another easy plant to grow is the dragon fruit because you only plant the cuttings although you need somewhere for it to climb and perhaps you try to train it to cling to walls or trellises but I find it very easy to plant. One has to do is dig a hole then put a little bit of manure or vermicompost, put the cuttings, put back the soil and voila you have planted the dragon fruit and after eight months it starts to grow.
