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: My Retirement Project
I have built 4 4' x 12' no till raised beds 22" deep for vegetable growing. I started with a layer of well rotted manure, a layer of composted material, then a layer of leaves, grass clippings, etc from spring clean up. Plants were started by pulling back the mulch, then moving the mulch around the plants as they got bigger. Potatoes just came up through the leaves and have grown roots into the composting material. I seldom have to water even though it has been a very dry year as the mulch prevents drying of the soil. There have been minimal weeds and good plant growth. I planted roughly based on the square foot gardening method, but I do not have permanent grids. One planter holds 48 hills of potatoes. We have eaten some and they are doing well. This fall I will cover each bed with a new layer of leaves and plant into the previous layer of mulch next spring. Trellises help use less space for things like cucumbers, peas and pumpkins and you do not have to bend over to pick peas!
Garden: First Time Gardener
Beans, peas, tomatoes, cucumber, turnips, beets, carrots, radishes, onions, potatoes, lettuce, pumpkins, green peppers, zucchini, cantaloupe
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 !
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: Carrigkilter Farm
We are trying to grow veg in what is normally a very wet climate! ( started 2009) - Most of the pumpkin/squash rotted! We hope to plant wildflowers around the basic lawns and we'll put in a couple of raised beds to save our poor old backs! Tony and I like to experiment growing different produce and varieties and challenging the weather!
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: Clarke
We have three large garden plots that were built from old manure piles. Our potatoes,carrots and pretty much any other vegetable thrive in these gardens.

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: Tracee's Sunshine Coast Garden
This gentle garden is a combination of flowers, herbs, vegetables and a patch of coastal rain forest. I believe in companion planting as an effective way to deter pests and hand weeding opposed to herbicides. Relaxed gardening is part of my method, you win some, you lose some. The important thing is that you have fun and enjoy the journey. Gardening is Life.

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: Dingle Bay Allotment
I have an allotment in the southwest of Ireland. It is a very beautiful place but quite exposed as it faces to the atlantic sea. There are 20 allotments in all.I started with 25'x15' and now increased it to 50'x30'.It took alot of extremely hard work to pepare the ground as it was previously a field of corn maise and very stoney, too much so! Now I can say I am happy with the back breaking work.I worked alot at night too, on and after reading up on certain vegetables to remind myself of their specific requirements as last year I was a novice and pretty much studied the Royal Horticultural Encylopedia of Gardening! So also with the knowledge from my parents I have to say I had one truly amazing allotment. I had drawn a design, several at that but kept to one which I have for record so I know what went where and dated it too. I grew potatoes,beetroot,carrots,kohl rabi,turnip,cabbage,curly kale,swiss chard,onions,garlic,peas and beans. What a great harvest!

Garden: 2010 Garden
This is my third summer with a vegtable garden in this location. Someone in my family has had a garden ever since I can remember. My grandfather owned a small farm when I was young and my father plants a garden every year. Most of this garden was turned by hand one shovel full at a time- then tilled the following year. This year I planted 3 types of squash- snow peas- carrots-turnips- corn-sunflowers-beets-kidney beans-potatoes-bell peppers- tomatoes- Zucchini and peas. I use Veseys seeds and their planting guide. There are 17 rows 24ft long- most rows are 3ft apart some are 4ft. I tilled well rotted horse manure into the soil and hoed the soil into hills.
Garden: Alpine's 'Stone Soup' Community Garden
We are creating a community garden in the park in downtown Alpine, Oregon (across from the school). Due to watering limitations, and the desire for a project that unites us as a community, it is one large plot (instead of many individual plots). We are focusing on growing crops that can be stored easily for the winter: potatoes and squash etc., and foods that can be canned: tomatoes and pickles etc. All work is being done by volunteers, and all materials are being donated. The harvest will be available to those who contribute to the garden. Any surplus will be donated to the food-bank or others in need. We think of this as a 'Stone Soup' garden, where if each of us shares a little of what we have, whether that’s time or materials, that we’ll be able to grow food for all to enjoy.

Garden: katie's garden x
i started creating my little garden from a peice of old tufty field 5 years ago now..... I live in a wild and remote part of the Yorkshire Dales, Uk a long way above sea level ...winters are long ....and the growing season short. Things in the garden really started to improve whan my lovely partner made me some raised beds and I 'created' a stream which really improved the drainage... I'm currently learning about permaculture and planning on using this more in the design/cycles of growing and living...love trying new ideas and concepts......have just purchased a polytunnel...woooooooo...which I am very excited about and am hoping it will really extend the growing season too...I may even be able to grown tomatoes that eventually become ripe then.....i also keep sheep/hens/ducks/bunny/guinea pigs....who all contribute in their own ways to the edible garden, usually in the form of poo to add to the compost... x
Garden: Central FL Balcony Garden
Novice gardener growing edible containers and other potted plants on the balcony and indoors... with moderate success.
Garden: Healthy Kidz Minnie St. Community Garden
This community garden was started in the spring of 2008 as a project of two churches (Rosedale United Church of Christ and St. Paul AME Zion) in the Rosedale area of Kansas City Kansas. An empty lot, made available by a 'Good Neighbor' allowed the garden to come to life. Their mission was to make available healthy food options for the folks living in the immediate area. In the fall of '08 volunteers from another church joined them. (Rainbow Mennonite)
In the summer of 2009 a small "Farmer's Market" was started on the church parking lot. Produce is also harvested and sold to individuals at different times. Some of the veggies are given away.
The UCC Church was host to the Healthy Kids Initiative Day Camp in August. The kids walked to the garden and were able to see first hand how their vegetables grow. They then were able to "pick" and fill their baskets.

Garden: Aurora
I am an avid gardener although I can't say I'm good at it yet as I am still experimenting with everything in my garden. I like planting flowering plants at the front garden and combination of flowering and vegetable garden at the back.
Debbie Shepheard
This is our first year (2009) on the acreage. I have gardened previously on an acreage but my last property was in the city and VERY tiny, so no big vegetable garden. This property was vacant for all of the last growing season so had a LOT of weeds to tend to. I'm still fighting them, but I think I'm winning! :D

An old Spanish proverb goes something like this.....more grows in the garden than the gardener sows........ Since I joined this group of gardeners last fall, I have found this to be very true. It's been a great experience. I'm an aging gardener, in more ways than one, and have found this to be just what i needed at this time in my life! We ARE a community garden.

I began gardening about 16 years ago when I bought my small home at this address. It had a very large backyard with half of it previously used as a vegetable garden. the previous owner grew corn and potatoes which took up a large amount of space. I tried to garden that space for a couple of years but had so much produce that I could not begin to keep up with the work. I leveled the land and seeded most of it to grass and put in some beds for flowers and bushes around the edges and one in the middle. I left one side for my vegetable garden. Over the years I have added arches and built boxes for my vegetables and graveled walkways and changed things many times. It has been a learning process. But always it has been rewarding and stress reducing. I have found peace here in this small piece of earth. I don't think I have become an expert in anything floral. I just keep blundering away planting this and that and if it works, it stays. If it doesn't I try something else. But I always love when something grows and looks wonderful. It brings such a sense of wonder when a plant gives you its beauty and opens its petals to the sun and to you . I love it.

My garden is my refuge, my travel back in time to an age of awe and astonishment over everyday miracles. A quiet morning sipping coffee and writing a letter to a friend are moments that I keep tucked away for those cold rainy days. I have been gardening for about 20 years and each season brings it's own set of lessons to carry forth to the next season. I am very concerned about where our food comes from and what processes this food has gone through to get to my family's dinner table. I grew up in a home where gardening was a way to feed and sustain us throughout the year. My efforts to date have been paltry compared to my Father's garden. Sacs of potatoes, onions, carrots and beets. Strawberries, enough for desert every night and stacks of deep ruby preserves on the dusty root cellar shelves. My Dad passed away several years ago but I feel him brush past me every once in a while when I am working over the beds. Just a light tap on my shoulder or a caress on my cheek. My Garden is is my refuge.

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.....

have lived here for 5 years, it was a big patch of overgrown wilderness ,and hopefully looks better now.

I am 63 years old and live in North East England. I moved into this house just over 1 year ago. The garden is huge compared to what I have beenused to. When I moved in it was very overgrown with far too many holly trees and far too much ivy growing everywhere. The 'bushes' were unkempt and resembled trees. I had lot of work to do thinning things out last year. Much of what was cut back I have used as chippings. The rest of the trunks and branches I have spread about the garden. This gives it a very rustic feel. My intention is to grow edible things out the back and have flowers in the front. I have got a lot of tomatoe trees off friends and have grown some myself from seed. Am trying to grow herbs, pease/beans, salad stuff, sprouts (yummy), cauliflower, broccli, cabbage, carrots. Too late this year for potatoes but there is always tomorrow. I recently added a pond and hope to attract some wildlife. You are welcome to look and comment on anything.
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!
How I love this -- it's better than a treasure hunt! We take away just as many potatoes we need for dinner, and then leave the plants to continue their good work.
I used the square foot method to plant my potatoes and some of the veggies but did not have enough material for permanent grids. I used 4' lengths of rebar that I had to lay out the area and moved it to the next bed when done. 48 potato plants in one bed with no hilling or weeding needed.
Veg plot August 09. Most of potatoes harvested early due to blight. Few French Beans (rest were eaten by critters unknown.) Spring onions beneath. Courgette plants doing well but not producing. Leeks surviving the wet. We are by no means Master Gardeners, but trying hard!
Potatoes we dug last week , was about 45 pounds out of a 25 ft row, plus 5 lbs we dug earlier. 50lbs worth.
Saturday's harvest 3/10 or 10/3 2009 depending on where you live! - Tony is going to do a still life painting of this - oh how these yellow mini squash have suffered and finally overcome to get to the plate! The Irish rain has a lot to answer for and we can't eat potatoes forever!
My little construction project for growing potatoes made from wire mesh, 1"x2's, screws & wingnuts and plastic garden edging stuff. You're supposed to put several inches of soil in the bottom, plant seed potatoes, then continually add leaves or straw as the potatoes grow .... resulting in clean spuds and compost at the end of the season. We'll see if it works. March 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.
Roulade made with own spinach (leaf beet), mushrooms, cheddar cheese and grain mustard. First attempt and not too difficult. We had to use up a goose egg we were given (equiv. to approx. 3 eggs)and it was just the right amount of egg. First picking of new potatoes - just another 100 tonnes to go!
...the early potatoes have done really well grown in homemade compost (kitchen waste/grass clippings/chicken poo/straw/paper), in the tyres ......planning to follow with kale/leeks when the potatoes are al eaten ....
