Garden: My American Garden

This is an organic container kitchen garden in the heart of an industrial neighborhood. The Gowanus Canal right by my house has been nominated for priority Superfund status, so lately, I've been dealing with issues about soil toxicity and what that means for my compost, my greens, and what I should and shouldn't eat.

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: Citrusman

I grow container citrus, from seeds, and eventually from cuttings and through grafts. I have a balcony full of tomato plants, peppers, and herbs. I love my garden and the rewards of seeing it grow are inexplicable. Trying to get some lemon and lime trees started, but I don't know if they'll survive the winter.

Garden: Heather's North Bay Garden

We have just moved to North Bay from Vancouver and I will be planting my garden next spring. Not sure exactly what I can grow in this soil and this climate. But the prospect is exciting. I will be doing mostly container gardening. Back yard faces northeast and has mature trees at the foot. Front yard faces opposite direction without trees and is much smaller. Any hints or gardening tips would be appreciated.

Garden: Casa Julian

My garden is like Topsy -it just grew. My main garden area is to the front and is mainly lawn and shrubs under Umbrella pines, with a Lime tree and a couple of olive trees. I have an Orleander hedge to the front - I have plans to turn the part in front of the house into a formal Italian garden. At the side of the house I have a pool side garden which is only in its second year and consists mainly of interesting shrubs and container plants. At the other side of the house is my olive grove and Orto (vegetable garden)At the front of the Olive grove I have planted a Pittisphorum hedge but it is not doing very well. I have lots of ideas, very little cash and less energy than I used to have so progress is slow!

Garden: Seaside Yarden

Our Yarden is South facing, but despite this, is in full shade most of the day. The high walls and bank provide most of the gloom, the rest is contributed by the house. All this enveloping shelter notwithstanding, the concrete square [resplendant with oil tank] is subject to fierce salt and sand laden sea breezes. A favourite haunt for the local tribe of ferral cats, the annually replenished container soil is a welcome addition to any natural kitty litter areas. Once the power washing has been completed in the Spring, and the last of the Winter's unidentifiable green scum removed, it is safe to venture outside and attempt to brighten this hard working space for the summer months. Alongside the minuscule shed, kick boxing bag, guinea pig hutch, clothes line, kayak/surf boards/bikes coal bunker/storage bunker and patio set, we like to grow some plants.

Garden: Raci's Patio Garden & Pond

In June of 2009, my husband and I moved into a ground floor condominium unit in sunny Pasadena, CA with a spacious patio area with only its cemented floor and a few patches of open ground to work with. Fast forward a year later, our small, cemented empty patio has now metamorphosed into a beautiful container garden with a vegetable and herb box, a dwarf nectarine tree, scores of potted flowering plants, and a whimsical turtle and Japanese Koi pond.

The garden is on our third floor apartment building deck. We cultivate a variety of vegetables, as well as florals. In particular we have several hibiscus, a jade tree and a miniature citrus tree which we have had for several years. We do our best to begin our gardening efforts early and stay on until the last days outdoors. The day we bring our plants indoors only means we have beautiful plants to enjoy all winter. We enjoy our days and nights out amongst our Half Ton Garden.

Though gardening is in my blood, coming from several generations of gardeners on my mother's side of the family, I haven't had the opportunity to do more than grow houseplants and do a bit of container gardening on a balcony. Now we're loving our "real" garden, and are delighted watching it thrive!

I (try) to grow tropical plants in the UK mostly container based bananas, bamboo and palms. I also grow carniverous plants and organic veg in containers. My latest horticultural adventure is some DIY hydroponics which so far seems to be working.

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.

The two 90Litre containers I currently use for composting. They are located at the balcony which faces east. The bottom container is full, covered over and set for maturing. The top container is slowly getting filled with compostable matter. Leaves, paper, cardboard, kitchen waste - anything which has been "alive" in the past few years will do as compostable matter. Through composting, the amount of waste from the apartment has gone from 1 medium bag/week to 1 small bag/month - about 75%.

Just a view of a few of my plants; the one pot that's empty with the decoration in it, had amazing beautiful flowers, but unbeknownst to me, my gutter was broken when I moved in, and the rain poured into the pot. Because of the container soil, I was unable to save any of the flowers. Death by drowning.

This pot head had better 'hair' last year. I planted a diffrent succulent that had little hens & chickens. It made her look like she had cascades of ringlets. Oh well, container pots are fun experiments in texture.

Here's that Pingtung Long, now about 3 inches high. I decided to "container garden" it on the patio, at least for now, as few of these seeds germinated and it will have fewer pests and fauna to contend with. So far so good. Its neighbour is a Kung Pao Hybrid hot pepper plant. It likely won't be until August that we reap either eggplants or peppers.
