My start in vegetable gardening

It’s time for me to finally get started on my vegetable garden and I thought I’d post news about my garden and all the info I find as I do research for my garden here in Florida. I grew up in NY with my mom growing a vegetable garden in our backyard and a flower garden in the front yard. I loved getting fresh zucchinis and cucumbers from the backyard. My mom grew tons of different things in our small backyard. We had zucchinis, chinese cucumbers, soybeans, corn, dill, tomatoes, chinese long beans, and I know there was more but I just can’t remember.
Oh we also had what I thought was chives for the longest til just recently. My mom came to visit and said that chives are hollow in the middle and what we have growing isn’t it. She has no clue what they are called in English. I’ll have to see if I can find in a search what I have growing. They look like chives but aren’t hollow. They’re flat. If anyone has an idea of what I’m referring to, let me know. =)
