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: Trouble Tree
I have a 6' x 20' plot on a slightly sloping area in my yard. When the sun decides to give the rain a vacation, it will shine on the garden from late morning until late afternoon. The western side of the garden has a split rail fence with chicken wire against which about twelve vigorous tomato plants are quickly maturing. Beans and peas are also growing at the north end of the garden and are graciously supported by the fence. At the southern end a cantaloupe and a few watermelons plants are reaching outwards into an adjoining flower bed. Cucumbers, onions, peppers - sweet and hot, and zucchini contend for the limited space in the garden and seem to care little for the mossy bricks laid down for stepping stones. Lettuce, spinach, radishes, mint, and eggplant battle for the remaining space. The lettuce has already yielded many delicious salads and is promising much more throughout the season. At the northern end a mystery lilac tree grows, tightly knit with two other as yet unidentified flowering bushes, and provides shelter to a lone artichoke experiment.
The name 'Trouble Tree' is inspired by my father. When I was very young, my dad would come home from work each day and devote just a few moments to leaving his frustrations from work at his 'trouble tree.' Touching the leaves and appreciating this simple miracle allowed him to shed the stress that often followed him home. My garden functions in much the same way for me on a daily basis.

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 !

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.
Last year we 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.
This year, we've decided to take a side-step in direction and focus more on growing berries and dedicating the rest of the garden to our birds. We're also hoping to attract more butterflies and bees - especially as there are swarms literally vanishing in our area & we'd quite like to bring some back and maybe start a colony of our own.

Garden: Vickis Slice of Paradise
New to gardening and just completed building 7 raised beds from scratch on our 1/4 acre flat section! 4 planned for veges, and herbs and soft fruit in the other 3. The majority of my gardening know-how has come from books/internet and as a child, watching my mother slaving in her garden every weekend (I thought it has to be more enjoyable than that looked!).
Just planted out peas and corn seedlings with broccoli, cauli and lettuce germinating. Planted out parsley, oregano, thyme (vulgaris and lemon), chives and rosemary with others germinating. Young blackberry plant is the first in the soft fruit bed with others to come. Also have an existing hand dug plot with tomatoes and celery growing and the last of my broccoli and lettuce going to seed.
Potatoes and onions growing in tyres at the moment but will grow potatoes in bags from now on and onions in the new beds.
We also have an enormous walnut tree, plum, pear, peach, 3 apples and 2 lemons.

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!

I am retired so I should have more time to play in my garden but that is not necessarily so. I don't let the garden dominate my time. When it's time to go visit my kids in Ottawa, the garden will have to fend for itself.

I'm a student, an artist, and I work at a plant nursery.... I have my long time childhood friend to thank for this opportunity to have my very own garden!!!! I am involved in a local community garden and am loving it immensely. Who knew gardening was my thing.
julie bennett
I am a mother of 5, and have 2 grandchildren. My oldest is 21 and my oldest set of twins are 17 and my youngest set of twins are 2, both sets are boy/girl. My grandchildren are 3 and 1. We have been growing vegetables for 4 years in a row now. We have had pretty good success over the years. We are renters right now, so makes it difficult to find landlords who will let you tear up their yards. We grow vegetables for our own personal consumption. I have only recently started jarring, and had success with pickled beets last year. I am hoping to continue learning how to grow and preserve food for my family. It helps to save a few dollars, and you know exactly where it came from, and what was put into it. I have a small flower bed out front with daisies, marigolds, and an assortment of wildflowers.

I live in New Zealand across the harbour from the capital city of Wellington with my husband, our ginger cat Daisy and dog Frodo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) I love to garden when the weather is fine on weekends! We are close to a Regional park with native bush so we get heaps of native birds in our garden - tuis, kereru,fantails and many more - I can hear the bell sound of the tui as I write this!

Hmmm.... I have been gardening for as long as I can remember. It all started with my Mother's Eden. My current garden which I inherited 6mths ago has Apple and Lemon trees and many, many roses. I have already added to that my herb collection (54 varieties and growing) and commenced a nice big veggie garden. The veggie garden currently has potatoes,onions, peas,lettuce, tomatoe, beetroot, spinach, silverbeet, carrot, cauli's, broccoli,brussel sprouts and corn. Oh,and Celery.....think that's all. Also,have a growing collection of berry fruits.....

I'm growing different varieties of cherry tomatoes,lettuce,and peppers as well as many other veggies like......
The reddish, purple is yugoslavian red butterhead lettuce, which was very tasty as a mixed green salad.
Stacey in the garden, this was at the end of april, you can see the Broccoli clear to the north, (behind stacey) then cabbage, Kohlrabi, Kale, Chard with red lettuce between(the companion planting was just starting) and we are putting in the pepper plants, all 250 of em!
"Drunken Woman" lettuce in foreground, with my new birdbath, which the chickadees love.
zuchinnis, cucs, pumpkins, and perhaps some tops of turnips. Too bad seems the peas have run their course for the year, as has the radish and lettuce.
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).
Even though the veggie garden is small, I am growing in it: beans, corn, pumpkin, tomatoes, snow peas, lettuce and Swiss Chard. There are some large parsely plants going to seed. The seed will be used for the next generation.
I've begun collecting acquatic plants and flowers in big old cement wine vats that I buried over halfway in the ground. So far I haven't created a pond, but the temptation is great and the space is sufficient. Maybe in 2010. Waterlilies are easy and can take the frost, others I move inside the castle for the winter. The lotus has made fantastic leaves for two years, but still no flower. Perhaps 2010 will be the year for a lotus flower, as well. Water lettuce and Water hyacinths love the tubs.
Another one of the driveway garden. Growing are tomatoes, capsicum, spinach and lettuce (right at the front), along with the rose perle d'or, ageratum, a beautiful deep blue salvia I've forgotten the name of, and bog sage. I love the combination of pinks and blues and mauves.
Vegetable bed 2 - lettuces, onions, cabbages. Have since added garlic, cauliflowers, more onions and lettuce
Raised beds at the side of the greenhouse. The first contains strawberries, chickpeas & 5 kinds of lettuce. The second hasn't been planted yet, and the third is all quinoa. May 2010
Filling the space gradually! Broad beans far left in distance, potatoes (plenty!) Mangetout, sugar snaps and peas on frame, runner beans on canes both ends. Lettuce bed on left.
Yes, that is a lettuce in with the flowers.. I was at a loss as to what to put in until the trailing lobelia gets going to fill them up!
Yes that is a Lettuce in the border!! Don't know how it got there but it looks very healthy...........
potato bed cleared......just sown some winter salady things which will hopefully be edible before the start of snowy season!.lambs lettuce, rocket, land cress, radish.....
