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: Jane's Garden
I have had raised beds for quite some years, but two years ago I decided to go to square foot gardening. I plant peas, carrots, various lettuces, several different herbs, peppers (jalapeno and chili), garlic, onions, cucumbers, spinach, potatoes and beans. I built a spiral herb garden this summer to plant next year.
Garden: 201 Charlesland Wood, Greystones
I have a long narrow garden, with wooden panelled fencing on both sides so they cast shadows on the garden in the morning and evening if we are lucky to have sunlight. Its a work in progress as a friend has designed a series of garden rooms which I am very slowly implementing. Another friend constructed a living willow fence for me this year so that forms one of the 'room' boundaries. I have a raised bed for vegetable growing - all in modest amounts given the restriction on space. I have successfully grown beans, peas, lettuces, rocket, strawberries, cucumbers, spuds (potatoes), herbs and so on in the productive garden.
Garden: Backyard perenial and vegetable garden
I have created a raised vegetable garden in order to allow me to work from my wheelchair. I have planted and cultivated radishes, beats, yellow-green-purple beans, peas, squash, tomatoes, potatoes, salads, onions, strawberries and rhubarb.
For a 1st year garden attempt it has been great... the kids eat right off the plant as they run by.
My wife has wonderful perennial gardens flanking the yard; irises, lilies, roses, lilacs and much much more.

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: Veggies

Garden: My Little Garden
My garden is a little bit of everything. Although there is a lot of space to work with, I've tried to bring some of home (Minnesota) to my garden for my children. It has western grass in the middle, edged by small planting spaces that I've created with brick borders. There are two lilac trees, to remind me of the smells of spring when I was a boy. I grow seasonal berries, like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in some of the individual plots, and vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, broccoli, garlic, cucumbers, cabbage, etc. In others I grow flowers, such as roses, tulips, daffodils, and so on. And I also raise herbs, lavender, marjoram, thyme, basil, rosemary and mint. All together, I average about 150 different plants, either potted or planted in the soil.

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.

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.
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!!

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.....

have lived here for 5 years, it was a big patch of overgrown wilderness ,and hopefully looks better now.
My big bed garden, lots of sand and ants, they don't like to share this soil. and 3 tree stumps that I need to work around! For my first year I've got onions, potatoes, cucumber, broccoli, beans, peas, and spinach. No idea how the broccoli will grow but it's loving it so far!
These ornamental onions are also growing everywhere. I will try to pot some up to give away.
