Garden: Ellen's Eden
Front and back yard are all mine and slowly I am weaning my hubby from his beloved but totally useless lawn. I recently planted 4 Saskatoon bushes in the front of my house because I am sick of everyone getting to the berries before me! Today I planted two Highbush Cranberry bushes and I am really excited about watching them go through the seasons next year...yummm...cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving next year!
Garden: Boxes and Pots
The yard is in an older area and had been let go for a few years. My garden consists of 3 square boxes and 3 long planters plus several pots of vegetables, herbs and flowers. Vegetables are peas, carrots, cucumber, peppers, eggplant, broccoli, lettuce, radish, onions and tomatoes. I planted rhubarb in the yard as well. I also have 2 small flowerbeds. I also have most of a garden plot in one of the community gardens. I haven't been in it for about a week so I'm not sure what's going on with it. Potatoes, corn, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, beans, carrots, onions, beets, turnips, cucumbers, squash and pumpkin. If I get much of a crop I'm going to have to buy another freezer! I'm quite excited to see how things do. I planted several things that I never have before.
Garden: Rabbit salad bar
Raised beds on sandy soil. It started with three raised beds and I added anohter larger bed at the back for my corn or sprawling veggies. Only real cow or sheep poop used to continually amend the soil.I grow a variety of stuff each year. Last year I planted my "Franken-garden" which included purple carrots , rainbow Chard,black Krim tomatoes,and red and white striped beets. I was really hoping the kids would be more into veggies..but , alas...it was not to be.The looked at these special veggies on their plate with the same disdain that they give more ordinary fare. So this year...I'm just using up seeds left over from the past couple of years and the rabbits and ground hog is loving it. The only new thing is the peanuts which is just not heard of here in Ontario,Canada. The ground hog has ripped all but two out.

Garden: Indoor Container Garden (in planning)
I have always been brutally awful at keeping indoor plants alive but I believe in the principle of try, try again and I am hoping my children's love and help will....help! As a child my dad would sprout grapefruit seeds between paper towel and a glass, put toothpicks into carrots and potatoes and show me how they sprouted, and it was fabulous. I want to do this too but take it to the next level: grow them the full way with my kids so they can see that even indoors we can grow and eat our own food. My main challenge is being a north-south facing townhouse that I have, really, one good kitchen window with south light: my north window gets virtually no direct sunlight, even less in the winter. So, I figure we will stick to what grows relatively well indoors: container tomatoes, a bean plant or two, perhaps some carrots, our herb pot and, just for fun, I will take on the challenge of growing my own coffee.
Garden: Renfrew Garden
We are renting this place from a friend of ours who grew up at this house - his parents, and especially his Father, were awesome Italian gardeners. When we moved in, Tony, our landlord, told us with tears in his eyes how beautiful the garden was (it had been left for 3 years and was now covered in packed dirt and dandelions!!) and we vowed to bring it back to what it once was. We also have a greenhouse. You name it - we planted it and as it's our first time as gardeners; we've learned a great deal about soil, spacing, water/sun and patience!! We have the tallest sunflowers in the neighborhood because Tony's dad had them - now we do too - over ten feet tall!! We grow tomatoes, peas, onions(green&red), lettuce, cabbage, beets, swiss chard, strawberries, potatoes, radishes, carrots, green and yellow beans, many types of zucchini and squash and peppers, green, red and various hot ones. It's a very rewarding adventure !

After much work I am learning to grow vegetables and currently have scarlet runner beans, swiss chard, ever-bearing strawberries, cucumbers, carrots, yellow bush beans, beets and a section of herbs. I love it!

This is the first year, with beans, carrots, squash, parsley, swiss chard, lettuce, and now am putting in kale and collard for the winter months, which I hope will grow! It's an experimental garden at this point, mainly because I love gardening and have access to soil.
Garden: Our Garden
We're building a garden from a scrap waste patch behind our cottage that the landlord was going to concrete.
We're taking a very slow, permaculture approach because we've discovered that from where we're starting, we have approx. 6" soil which is a mix of waterlogged mud and heavy clay, onto the old, C16th cottage floor. We're spending little bits on the garden as and when we can and we're cultivating cuttings from local hedgerows and plant-swapping.
Our initial plan is to cover as much of the breeze-block wall as possible with flowers and then build raised beds (ideal as I have spine injuries) from the rubble that we've pulled out so far, in which we can far easier manage the soil quality.
This year we've had success with carrots; onions (bedford champion); lettuce (lollo rosso) raspberries; roses; cucumber; lavender; and various herbs. We have also introduced a laburnum as a standard and have a little patch of lawn chamomile that's struggling valiantly.

Garden: Connie's Garden
This is the 1st year I could grow a garden again. We just moved back to IL after being in MS for 10 yrs. Nothing grows in a garden in MS, it always burns up! I had little hope I would get a good yield but my tomato plants are higher than me! (5'2") Been picking beans for 3 weeks now too, I'm in canning heaven!

Bert
A garden newbie. Enjoy reading and learning about all the proper ways to garden, then have a "let's see what this does" attitude in my own gardens. Started gardening in 2008 and have tried very hard just to patiently wait to see what returned this year. I have hardscaping to do before I add the new gardens that I have planned. Patience, patience, patience :) Grandpa was a gardener. I remeber stealing his fresh peas and tiny baby carrots straight out of the garden :)

Connie/exrea
After moving from MS where I failed 2x at gardening, I had little hope of getting a good yield from my garden here in IL. But alas it doesn't get so hot here so it did not burn up!! I started out with a small plot for this year & found I should have made it a lot bigger. So far I have canned 4 batches of beans, a batch of beets & carrots. I picked some summer squash but couldn't resist eating it...YUM I tried a new recipe for the Green peppers I got. Green pepper jelly! I was delighted at the outcome! It is really gooooood!!

We grew these carrots in a self-watering container from IKEA. I transformed it into an "Earthpot" by simply drilling an overflow hole in the bottom and adding fertilizer (Garden Tone) and a plastic mulch cover. The Earthpot is right behind us with the rest of the carrots still growing.
View of the garden doing really well - July 2009 Lettuce, Beets, Carrots, Potatos, Beans, Peas, Strawberries, Onions
Summer 2009. We're guessing the lower level will get more light, so this is where the veggies are this year. The far, oval bed is growing by sections: rocket; radish (french breakfast); spinach (red stem); red cabbage; lettuce (lollo rosso); lettuce (standard loose-leaf); runner beans (last of the strain my Dad has been breeding for years); chilli. The nearer, rectangle bead has: tomatoes, with an aubergine between; then broad beans; then by turns, carrots (standard) & onion (bedford champion).
