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: My little corner of peace.
My garden is a mixture. The vegetables are grown in raised beds throughout the backyard with full to partial sun. I also have edged the garden with fruit trees, grapes and arctic kiwi, and I have a shade perennial garden that is fairly natural woodland. I mix wild strawberries in amongst the perennials and try to make my garden bird friendly. It is a totally organic garden complete with waterfall, stream and pond. We plan to add the mediterranean feel with stone pizza/bread oven and deck surrounded by herbs. My latest addition is the start of a butterfly/hummingbird garden.
Garden: Sharon & Tony's Blood, Sweat & Tears

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: Zen and the Art of Garden Maintenance
With the purchase of our home 2 years ago, I inherited several raised weed and bramble infested beds in my southern exposed back yard.

I love it!

Garden: my garden (very mixed)
I had restraining walls put against a hilly, crumbly rocky area from which I removed some old trunks (others, well underneath are still there. The worker used local stones in a rustic way to create four levels. I had a large area left at the bottom where I planted fruit trees, salad, basil, strawberries in hedge form, The middle level is a kind of long planting box used for herbs, large succulents, annuals, some flowers from bulbs. On the top level I planted blueberry and blackberry bushes. The bottom most level is used for the vegetable garden and other fruit trees. There is also a planting area around the perimeter of the property-a two family house where there are forsythia, lavander, roses, lantane, gladioli, spring bulbs mostly already there.

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: Coming Attractions
Our new garden is a large front and backyard with many rose bushes and grass. I am hoping to plant a small vegetable garden and a kid-friendly area so I can teach my kids how to garden. I plan to stay as organic as possible. The main problem is the weird and wacky weather - apparently we sit at the windy edge of a ferocious fog bank (see photo). It's sunny, except when we get engulfed by the fog. The fog bank is present through most of the year.

Josh J
I am the founder of GardenJot! I am as much a novice of a gardener as my mother is an expert. She is a certified Master Gardener in Marin County who works in her beautiful garden each and everyday. I am watching herbs and strawberries die on my fire escape. But, I'm still holding out hope that I can be better. To that end, I'm moving this week to a small house in the suburbs with a wonderful garden. I plan to do maintain what's there and do some cool things I'll document here.
Bert
A garden newbie. Enjoy reading and learning about all the proper ways to garden, then have a "let's see what this does" attitude in my own gardens. Started gardening in 2008 and have tried very hard just to patiently wait to see what returned this year. I have hardscaping to do before I add the new gardens that I have planned. Patience, patience, patience :) Grandpa was a gardener. I remeber stealing his fresh peas and tiny baby carrots straight out of the garden :)
Jessica
I am a young mother of twins, about to move to a new home with a large garden space (and a weird microclimate that I have yet to figure out). I am planning to plant a kitchen garden, and well as maintain many beautiful rose bushes. I am interested in getting my kids involved in gardening.
Victoria Julien
I am 20 years old and love to garden. I grow mostly vegetables with a few flowers for colour. I also enjoy growing herbs to use in my many recepies. I hope you enjoy looking at my garden photos. They will be updated frequently throughout the summer. And anyone who would like herbs or Strawberry plants please come by and pick your own or dig up some strawberries as they have been trying to take over the garden in which they grow.
William
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.

am inland and up enough in elevation to make things a bit more difficult to grow.. very hot when it's hot, colder in the winter, and more often more snow than in nanaimo... have raised beds and mostly veggies and herbs, some fruit trees and raspberries, strawberries, a couple of marion berry experiments and a couple of grapevines..
My North facing bed, very wet from the shade and shed runoff, the Raspberries and Strawberries are LOVING it! I got 38 plants last year fro
We have started harvesting strawberries planted by the previous owners. :) yes, and I have to weed the clovers out. :)
View of the garden doing really well - July 2009 Lettuce, Beets, Carrots, Potatos, Beans, Peas, Strawberries, Onions
Various herbs were planted by the end of our fourth week and a circular path mapped out. The local shops donated Lavenders which helped balance our Nasturtiums, Thyme, Chives, Strawberries, Feverfew and various other oddments from our own gardens.
Strawberries flourish in an old-style recycling bin. As the bin is made from recycled plastic, and I am now re-using it, it has been triple recycled!!!
