I used to grow strawberries at my old house.

I voted yes, but its not a true yes.  I cannot grow food at my apartment--no place to.  However, my grandma has always had a garden at her house and we get veggies in the summer--cucumbers, tomatoes, beans.  So I know what a garden is, have helped taken care of one, but don't have my own.  I don't think my landlord would like a topsy turvey hanging from my window.  ;D

I also live in an apartment so I can't have a garden, but I have a cyclamen plant. I am amazed I haven't managed to kill it yet. I have a talent for killing plants, but this one is still going strong.

I have an apartment but I have my own little porch so I hope to try some barrels out there this year.  I also have a teeny jade plant named Mr. Ukki.

My family has a garden. I don't have a garden. I'm usually the one who hides in the house and avoids it but I eventually get dragged out there to pull weeds. We grow potatoes and tomatoes and watermelons and a bunch of stuff. But our gardens aren't always a success.  :-\

Do you put natural fertilizer(animal poop) in it?

In our garden we put dead grass around the plant that was cut from my dad mowing the lawn. You don't have to use waste.

We have a pretty good size one.
Corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, beans, cucumbers, butternut squash, pumpkins, zucchini,  watermelon (both pink and orang varieties).  My dad always plants way too many tomatoes, and last year we had too many watermelons.  (I love watermelon, it's my favorite food, but it's a shame to have so many they go bad before we can eat them.)
We also have a small orchard, with 5 apple trees, 2 plum trees, and 2 cherry trees.  We've got two gooseberry, redcurrant, and bush cherry bushes each, but we don't do much with those because they don't produce all that well, except the cherries one year.  Growing wild in the woods, there's blackberries, raspberries, black raspberries, and elderberries.  We pick all them except the elderberries.  (I did try making elderberry jam one year.... Took HOURS to clean all the berries, and ended up we didn't like the taste.)

We're currently putting in a strawberry and rhubarb patch.

I was actually thinking about making one several years ago. Maybe I still will...
