Beginner, but have some experience. Also soil is kind of sandy.
Moving to southern Baltimore area. What are some good things to grow in a small suburban veggie/flower garden?
It depends on the lighting ( sun or shade? ) and how much time/energy you want to put into it. Perennials are a good choice for flowers because you plant them once and they come back year after year. Hosta is a good shade perennial. There are varieties that are sun tolerant, too. Hosta has variegated foliage. If there is alot of blue in the foliage, the plant will not do well in sun.
Bulbs are another good choice because they are budget friendly and come back year after year. Annuals are great for pops of color in the landscape but they must be planted year after year. When you go to buy your plants, talk to someone at the nursery and they can give you great ideas.
As for veggies, tomatoes are easy and don't take up alot of space. You can even grow them in whiskey barrels. Cukes are good growers but they need a little space to spread out.
Reply:Tomatoes love sandy soil. or squash, corn, , or if its that small, grow herbs, basil, parsley, dill, rosmary, lemon leaves,.... if you don't pick some of these herbs they will also flower.
