Garden: Charlie's Garden
For my ten years on this boggy bit of mountain land, my gardening has been driven by being an artist/sculptor, with just a small amount of food growing.
I have a polytunnel with tomatoes,peas,beans,
salads,some fruit and lots of propagation of perennials....and growing eucalyptus trees from seed.
In these Peak Oil, Climate Change times, I'm now learning about Permaculture and Edible Forests, and am planning to turn my remaining acre over to broadleaf trees, fruit trees and bushes, nut trees, and bio-mass crops.
A Huge learning curve!
My info says full sun....this year it's been full-on rain like never before!
Garden: The Yarden
In 2006 we bought a "yard with a house attached to it" and in 2007 our Yarden was installed and growing. We now have 1700 square feet of organic raised beds, espalier fruit trees and various other interesting edible things. This is season three and this magical space has become a hub for parties, classes and community activity. Gardening really builds friendships! People are amazed when we share with them how to plant things, the importance of seed diversity or the simple joy of cooking what you grow. Every year we have more and more volunteers who join us for our planting party Memorial Day weekend and hang around through the season to see "their" plants growing. It has been a great experience. We will be teaching classes in the winter/spring of 2010 so others in Chicago can learn from our mistakes (ha!) and have their own back or front yard oasis. Check out our blog at theyarden.com or via our fan page on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. We are on a Yarden journey - join us!

Garden: Marc's Arad Garden
My all year round arid climate/desert garden is about 430 square meters on 2 levels on a east facing slope in Arad,Israel.From the garden the view is quite spectacular looking in to the great rift valley with the Dead Sea and beyond that the mountains of the Kingdom of Jorden.Outside my garden is the Judean desert and a wadi[dry river bed]with limestone caves used by Beduins up till the '90 and probably by ancient man.
Lower garden is in back of the house and is mostly trees.One section is a succulent garden surrounding a Washingtonia palm with several cactus in between.Edible fruit trees include[included a Granny Smith apple],white mulberry,2 figs,loquat,lemon,lemon-lime and red grapefruit,2 pomagranites and an almond.Ornamental trees are 2 Washingtonia palms,pepper,jacaranda,2 chinaberries,pastacia & misc.desert specie.An overgrown privet has reached tree size.
Upper level in front of the house is between 2 rows of 10 Jerusalem[aleppo]pines on opposite borders.Trees are a Norway Island pine[from house pot],tipuanna[biggest],3 ficus,2 white locust,fig,tabor oak and spike trunked unidentified.Between the trees and against the house are many many pots as the tree roots have closed much of the garden space.As it is,the soil is on limestone bedrock and less than a meter thick.In the ground are many aloes and succulants,some lantana as well as agaves.Under the pines aloes are the only plant that grows well.A pointsette is about 2M tall as I've had it since the 90's!

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: Kellys' Country Aire Garden
My Garden has raised beds and a greenhouse. I have herbs, veggies, seeds, friuts and berries, flowers, grass and hedges. Full sun and Full Shade. A bit of everything. We use NO chemicals or commercial fertilizers. We compost. My kids and pets play everywhere. It's not always at its prettiest, and I neglect it sometimes, but it's mine and I love it. I get to share my bounty with family and neighbors, and growing my own food makes me feel good. I also have a greenhouse and started trying a technique to smother weeds with newspapers and cardboard this year...liking the results! When my kids are bigger I expect there will be even more to offer.

Garden: A garden of two halves
Three challenges are faced in this garden...the soil , the aspect and the slope. However , I have enjoyed trying to make something productive out of it and it keeps me busy!
The front garden is pretty steep but gets all the sun ( and wind ). The soil is not too bad but thin in places with rock underneath. Mainly ornamental except for the small bricked area near the house where I get all my seedlings started and grow some edibles.
The back garden is starting to look like an allotment according to my neighbours...their dining room window looks right onto it ( another challenge!). The soil there is pure clay so I have 4 deep beds and a hugelbeet with a few extra bits recently converted to usable soil by a kind of lasagne method. The house shades this garden almost completely in the winter but in summer half of it gets most of the sun available. A large area of flax stops the garden from falling down the gully and is home to 3 chickens at the moment.

I am an avid gardener. I am always looking for more specific planting times for all kinds of S. California edible garden vegetables. I am also going to plant citrus trees and pomegranate trees this fall.
Bev Rampf
I'm a born gardener and love to be in the fresh air tending to everything green. We inherited our garden 19 years ago and have not really had the opportunity to make too many structural changes BUT have revamped beds and plant material over & over again in the 19 years. Each day in the garden is different & this makes for much variety in the life of the garden and gardener. Veggies & herbs are my latest favorite, being able to put on the table fresh from the garden is just so rewarding & even more so is being able to supply friends with home grown produce!!! May we become self sufficient soon, soon. One of my loves is being able to nurture & grow something unusual and this I have found in Clematis and Peonie which have been rewarding +++ and relatively easy without much fuss. I just wish I could find the winning formula for my orchids??? They won't flower. Anybody with a winning tip - please pass on.
