I really like to garden but my plants this year have not done very well. 
I'm sorry to hear that! I wonder what happened to them? I love gardening, it's so relaxing!
I think maybe we have actually had too much rain. My tomatoes got spots on their leaves, and I also think the birds or squirrels have been eating my stuff!
Those rascals! Is your garden specialized, only growing one type of plant, or do you have a variety of mixed plants?
I have a variety of plants, all things to eat and cook with. I have several kinds of tomatoes, plus peppers, snap peas, tomatillos, and several kinds of herbs!
Wow! I want to come visit your garden! Ha! Do you grow the plants directly in your yard or do grow the plants in large containers? 
I grow them in large containers at the end of my driveway, which is right by the door from my kitchen.  So when I'm cooking, I can step right outside and get a little sprig of something. I have a ton of basil right now. 
I'll bet it tastes so fresh! I'm jealous! I live in a condo, so I don't have a yard to garden in. I'm going to look into putting a few plants on my balcony, patio and porch! I think I can squeeze a few in.
Oh, you should! It's amazing how much you can do on a balcony. You can even get "patio tomato" plants that have been bred for small spaces. Try it! 
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely look into it! I'm excited to get more into gardening and cultivating plants!
