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.

Water features include a goldfish pond in an old septic tank, a farm pond with rustic bridge, and the Atlantic Ocean. This treasure is protected by a sculpted arborvitae hedge on the northwest, a mature stand of hickory on the northeast, and an extensive screen of old lilacs on the south. New projects include expanding the collection of magnolias and rhododendrons, introducing hydrangeas, an espaliered pear fence, a woodland walk, and a summerhouse with views to the pond and the sea.

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: My Gentle Garden of Peace
This is where my heart is and my place of peace and sanity. I love to come and work in the soil and look at the colors and the changing shapes and sizes of the plants and to keep changing things year after years, adding this and removing that. I love to taste the produce from my tiny vegetable garden and complete with the weather and the creatures for the produce to see who will win this year.
It is always different and always challenging and always a feast to the eyes and the heart.

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: sticks and stones
We're building our garden from scratch. The builder who reno'd our house removed every speck of topsoil so we are left with reddish sandy soild and a LOT of rock. Every planting begins by breaking the soil with a pick axe and then removing the stones, some of them very large. So far, we have made small holes to start shrubs around the border of the front yard and otherwise relied on herbs and other plants that will flourish in poor soil. Now we want to start extensive work on our back yard. It is a small-ish space that we need to use intensively so we will be removing as much rock as we can and amending the remaining soil to make it more fertile. We plan to espalier fruit trees and grow grapes and hops along our fences. We also want to integrate some vegetable gardening with perennial plantings. We hope to include a clothes drying green, a seating area and some decorative features into the space.

Garden: Roald Dahl's garden at Gipsy House
At first sight, Roald Dahl's garden at Gipsy House, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, could be anyone's – anyone, that is, with a good deal of taste, time and money. The acre or so, plus meadow, that surrounds the 18th-century doll's house he bought 50 years ago, is divided into a series of rooms, at varying levels on the Chiltern hillside. An orchard, a vegetable garden and a series of bordered spaces descend towards the house. (Source: The Telegraph)

Garden: Laura's backyard gardens
I have several flower beds and a raised vegetable bed. I love to garden but I just do it the way it pleases me. By this I mean that I don't follow any of the landscaping "rules". I enjoy sitting on my deck or garden bench in the summer months and sharing my backyard with my friends and family. Our four grandkids, little great neice, nephews and friend's children are a treat to have in the yard. I spend time hiding little items like bunnies and things for them to find as they spend a sunny afternoon with me for a playday. Planting flowers with fun names like "Turtle's Head, Pussy Toes and Snap Dragons are a fun way for me to teach them about flowers and the joy gardening can bring.

Garden: vegetables, pot plants and orchids
Most of my garden is made up of pot plants, I live in Australia and there is a big push for gardeners living in Australia to grow Australian Natives, but I have to say I'm not a great fan, I love to grow Orchids, Rhodedendrons, ferns, gardeniars, I like plants that have lovely flowers, but I also like the weird and the wonderful plants, unfortunantly we are in the middle of a very long drought and that makes gardening here a bit difficult, especially for me as most of my plants are very water hungry, I also have a very productive vegetable garden that my friends are all happy about as I grow so many vegies that I could'nt possibly eat them all myself.

I am still in the process of breaking in the soil, putting in my favourite plants in a tiny piece of the garden and populating a big long balcony with things that can survive the full sun of the Italian summer. This spring I should see my first tulips, lillies, narcissus, paeonies, irises and alliums blooming. I should also see the Daphne, Osmanthus, Magnolia Stellata, Clematis Armaandi, the various types of clematis patens and rhododendrons put in at least a little bit of a show on the balcony...Of course there is always the chance that some of these will not like the Full sun treatment on the balcony but I will find out this year.
I need to describe the Vegetable and fruit area as well but I will leave that to later.

Garden: Follow My Farm
This was a crazy idea from the get-go!
After traveling around the country for 12 years it gave us a chance to check out areas to settle in. We were still undecided when we were hit by a few hurricanes in a row. That was it! I had the RV wired for the internet and started searching for a place to move to. I found this place and the price was right.
I had some pictures emailed to me. They were mostly of the interior and a couple of the exterior. Nothing of the little over 5 acres of land. When we got here I could see why. The place was neglected and over-grown with about 2 or so acres covered in Kudzu.
So we "bought the farm"!!!!
The original idea was to buy some property we could transform into a viable, productive farm. Problem is neither one of us are farmers. I come from a product design background! Since we got here we have begun to see some progress but we have a long way to go.
So Follow My Farm as we grow and go on an adventure together!
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: Bay Area Newspaper Group's "Our Garden"
"Our Garden" is a community and demonstration garden created by the Contra Costa Times and Oakland Tribune newspapers and the Contra Costa Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners. The goal is to educate both beginning and advanced gardeners on the best techniques for growing their own vegetables, and to help feed the hungry. Produce grown in the garden is being donated to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. (Source: http://www.contracostatimes.com/ourgarden/ci_12495833 )
Garden: Churchill Community Garden
The Churchill community garden serves three purposes: school garden, community garden, and food bank garden. Churchill is the collaborative brainchild of several organizations in Eugene. The school district owns the land and provides wate; the Churchill Area Neighbors and the City of Eugene helped start the garden in 2001; and FOOD for lane county, the local food bank; manages the 1 acre garden, coordinates the 58 plots and gather together the volunteers to collect the beautiful, organic produce they grow. It's a beautiful thing.

Garden: little slice of heaven
A first time gardener at best. Who knew gardening could be such a joy. My little slice of heaven aka plot is located in a community garden and measures 10' x 20'. Its strictly organic, I swear by sea soil and fish fertilizer.
Garden: Rabbit salad bar
Raised beds on sandy soil. It started with three raised beds and I added anohter larger bed at the back for my corn or sprawling veggies. Only real cow or sheep poop used to continually amend the soil.I grow a variety of stuff each year. Last year I planted my "Franken-garden" which included purple carrots , rainbow Chard,black Krim tomatoes,and red and white striped beets. I was really hoping the kids would be more into veggies..but , alas...it was not to be.The looked at these special veggies on their plate with the same disdain that they give more ordinary fare. So this year...I'm just using up seeds left over from the past couple of years and the rabbits and ground hog is loving it. The only new thing is the peanuts which is just not heard of here in Ontario,Canada. The ground hog has ripped all but two out.
Garden: garden in the works!!
trying to reclaim a beautiful garden spot which has been neglected for awhile.
Garden: Target Community Garden
For 15 years, this garden has been an important resource in improving the safety and quality of life in this Bedford-Stuyvesant community. A local elementary school and several families are currently involved in the maintenance of the garden. During 2004, these residents raised funds to support the site's use for gatherings, workshops, and as a learning garden by neighborhood school children.
Target is generously supporting the restoration of the garden and selected nationally acclaimed garden designer and horticulturist Sean Conway to provide the garden design. Since 1998, Conway has helped to create the garden centers in Target stores and also designed the gardens at the Target corporate headquarters in Minneapolis. He has also been a frequent guest on Martha Stewart Living and is the co-executive producer and host of Cultivating Life on PBS.

Garden: Healthy Kidz Minnie St. Garden
The 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 we started a small "Farmer's Market" on the church parking lot. We also harvest and sell 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: 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: Sharon & Tony's Blood, Sweat & Tears
Fifteen raised beds for vegetables; patches of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, flower beds, fruit trees
Garden: 4000 Ft Ski Hill Veggies
For the past three years I've been attempting to re-establish a garden which my mother had over 10 years ago. The earth sat for about eight years and then weeds invaded with overgrowth (as the house and property were rented). I have been adding sand, peat and manure to the clay like soil and am starting to have success with growing vegetables. Which is great considering the house is just under 4000ft on the Kimberley Ski Hill. Next step is to landscape and re-establish a lawn.
Garden: Jack and Gay's garden
First year of growing corn, cucumbers and squash in front garden - full sun. Very good crops. Back yard less sun but very good pole beans, carrots, strawberries, raspberries and broad beans.
Garden: Organic Gardening in Nebraksa
My twin granddaughters and I have started an organic garden this year. This land has never been turned or nor has there ever been any chemicals on it. It has been a challenge to say the least. Nebraska is known for grasshoppers but we did pretty good. We canned over 200 quarts of food so we should be set for winter. By the way the granddaughters are 4 and it was their idea to plant a garden.
Garden: Preston Raised Vegie Garden
Just over 16sqm(?) distributed in four equal sized sleeper-raised garden beds on the Southern side of the house - conversion of the original driveway. Loosely-based on the Square Foot Gardening principles, each bed has a varied collection of seasonal produce at any one time, including flowers and herbs. Watering is almost solely achieved via laundry greywater, soil is kept productive via a combination of a ~50ltr worm farm (converted stone basin) and two compost bins (one stationary, the other rotating).
Garden: church garden
it's a self sufficiency garden i've built up the soil from scratch, built a chookshed, am on rainwater from a tank and have espaliered a variety of fruits, and grow as many different types of heirloom vegetables and herbs as i can. there was a small grove of almonds when i got here and a few gums but the rest of my 500 metre squared patch that's not covered by my litlle brick church has been converted to garden beds.
Garden: Koivuranta

Garden: Schoolgarden of Käpylä Comprehensive School
Schoolgarden for 600 children and youths from age 7-16 since 1999.
Pupils grow vegetables during biology lessons and prepare food of them on home economics lessons.
Our pupils with special needs (about 50 of them) do some of their training for different professions on our schoolgarden.
On this site there has been communal gardening for children since 1930´s.
Our mission with gardening is to enhance teaching of natural sciences and sustainable development. Also we wish our pupils to get real life experiences and understanding and respect to farming and food.
Garden: My Roznow Farm
One field that is 150 feet by 150 feet to grow commercial quantity potatoes and corn and string beans for the food bank, one second smaller patch about 45 feet by 45 feet for growing an assortment of veges for myself, my friends and for homeless shelters. Additionally a large area of open green space dotted with trees, some fruit, some evergreen. It's a farm more than a garden.
Garden: My experiment
I'm planning on the first garden to consist of (in order of rows)...
1. Bush beans
2. Bean herbs (bohnen kraut)
3. Tomatoes
4. Lauch (onions)
5. Karrots with Dill mixed in
6. Onions
surrounded by the veggi garden will be certain flowers, Marigold, Ringelblumen that help with the bugs and soil.
On a second level (terrace) I plan to plant more Tomatoe plants surrounded by Lavender and Echinicea.
Garden: Oasis on Bay
Frontyard is mostly flowers and some berries.Deer can access this area (for now). Backyard is vegetables, greenhouse, flowers and berries.Deer cannot access unless someone leaves the gate open.
Garden: Haelan Farm
In november 2009 this was a patch of weedy grass filled with stones. we sprayed it (i know, i know but we were desprate) and covered it with cardboard then transported all the sol from our old garden and piled it on the top, creating beds and parths from sawdust which the birds cover with mulch they scrape off the beds every day. The plants are growing quickly in this damp summer and its already looking like the garden we dreamed of.
Garden: Alan and Ivans Garden
We have a mixed garden of fruit,vegtables and flowers.We are currently getting the plots ready for the years growing by manuring and digging them over.
Garden: my haven

Garden: R-Garden
Started in 2005 as a 10X10 plot, I now garden 200 square feet with my partner. In Spring 2010, we completed major structural renovations to merge the various expansion barriers, solve some drainage issues and create a cold composting wall. A wall of native plants will line the composting wall. Our plot is a combination of ornamentals, herbs and vegetables. Our space is spiritual as well as functional and features Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy as a central feature. Stone paths provide access to the entire plot.
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
Susan Vinskofski
When I was a little girl, my neighbor gave me a johnny jump up to plant in my yard. After the flower died, I pulled out the entire plant. She scolded me but I thought I was taking care of my little garden. When I was 16 I decided to plant a vegetable garden in our back yard. I had no experience since my family had never gardened. I read Postage Stamp Gardening & dug a spot. Things turned out fine for a first garden & I've enjoyed gardening ever since.
Carolyn
We moved here nearly 25 years ago, but it's only been in the past few years since my kids were older that I've been as passionate about gardening. I'm haphazard and a little lazy, but things on the whole are thriving. We have 93 acres but most of the land around my various small gardens and vegetable garden are maple woods, swamp and hay fields, currently filled with wild flowers.
Neil and Paul
we are a couple of urbanites that bought our first house about 5yrs ago. it was a well established garden, mostly perennials and shrubs. with a great little pond. so far we haven't killed off too much with our "black thumbs" LOL and we are getting better with new landscaping and vegetable plot we have done ourselves with some Family help
Rosemary and Kenny
We grow lots of perennials and a few annuals. Grandma has a huge vegetable garden. I did some veggies this year too! My pumpkins are taking over!
Lorna
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.
Barb's Blooming's
When I began the hillside garden in 1998, I placed a small garden shed on the highest spot on the hillside. Then began the dedicated process of tiering the groundsite, and building on my vision, first shrub's were raspberries, first tree...apple...then came the peony's and lilies, and from that I began to build. Hillside faces south, so there is sun, somedays very hot sun, all day long...three shade areas have been created and four levels. A spectacular view! With farm fields, oilfield sites, acreages and the city in the distance. There is no electricity, my water source for the most part was held in large tanks, accessed by 300 feet of garden hose. The water warmed was delivered to the base of the plant. My second source is Mother Nature, the best kind! I love designing the hillside, and taking photo's and sharing with my gardening friends! another passtime is writing poetry about my garden. I entertain many friends and family at the garden site as well as strangers that stop by just to enjoy. I have 11 different berries, and enjoy picking and making jellies as gifts. I planted a vegetable garden for 36 years, now just enjoy the trees, shrubs, and flowers for the bees, birds, and butterflys.
Elke
I love to garden. Come spring, all the books and seed catalogs come out and the planning begins (again!). My garden always seems to be a work in progress especially this year as our 27 foot pool sprang a leak. New gardens and sod had to be laid. It was a VERY busy spring.

I am a single parent of a wonderful boy, and live on the sunny East Coast of the North Island New Zealand. I have a diploma in Herbal Medicine, certificate of Horticulture and a Diploma in Occupational Therapy, all of which are valuable tools to my current work and passion. I am interested in helping people return to the soil and begin a garden, for the health benefits of fresh, nutrient filled produce for their families, for the physical and spiritual health involved in gardening, and to help heal the planet. the more we grow, the less produce needs to be carted around the world by carbon emitting trucks. I focus on heirloom (non hybrid) varieties of vegetables, Herbs, medicinal and culinary, and a couple of plants that are important. Stevia, for the healthy alternative to sugar, and Chia, a highly nutritious grain with many life giving and healing properties. For more information, visit chiahowto.com. I sell my seeds through trade me, a New Zealand online store. I am an author and have 2 ebooks which I sell worldwide. Chia the Super Grain which can be found on chiahowto.com and How to Start a Vegetable Garden and Master the Art of Year Round Harvest. I don;t have a website to make this available yet, but anyone interested can email me at broomstik@callsouth.net.nz I am very happy to be here, connecting with other gardeners around the world. Thanks to the creators of this wonderful space. Blessings to everyone Carol

My garden which is all south facing is seperated at the moment into 4 different plots The first plot is the smallest plot and is situated directly in front of the house and would be lovely to dress more as a flower garden with the exception of herbs, i am hoping for plot 2 to have climbing plants as well as vines,plot 3 will be allocated to the animals and plot 4 is to be the main vegetable area. The gardens at present have plum, peach, apple and walnut trees.

Believe it or not, this is half the vegetable garden. Since it is soooo large, it is nearly impossible to for me to keep up with the weeding. Next year will be a whole new story.
The vegetable garden, last year a seething mass of rudbeckia, goldenrod and thistles, has, this year, acquired some civility... but only some.
The vegetable garden in rampant growth. It looks a mess, but I love wandering through it. At the front is the pond, plunked smack-dab in the sunniest spot, by the previous owners. I was going to move it, but it's nice to hear the water moving while weeding. And, the poor soil around the edge made a wonderful spot to grow spinach this spring.
Two of my boys picking the last few red currants. These four bushes have to be moved, as do the rhubarb in front of them. They simply don't get enough sun here to really thrive and produce. Once they're moved, I'll plant shade-loving plants, and extend the vegetable garden into the sunny side of the yard. the kids ate the red currants after dinner with yogurt I had made that morning.
Small vegetable garden, now has raspberries beside on the right with a raised strawberry bed and daylilies are now on the left with two grape vines.
This was vegetable harvest for the day: Zucchinis, lemon cucumbers, white queen tomatoes, pear tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes and more...I started these heritage vegetables from seed
The vegetable garden is looking spectacular with the scarlet Virginia Creeper alongside, and the subtle echoing of red in the leaves of the wild Cherry above it. So fleeting, but such a privilege to witness.
One of the raised vegetable garden beds next to the dog run which has scarlet Virginia Creeper growing along it this fall.
It is not so large, but this is my vegetable garden of the backyard. The compost (organic fertilizer) is made from garbage at home.
The vegetable garden rests. A good friend got a rototiller for Christmas, and I sense a garden enlargement coming on....
Vegetable bed 2 - lettuces, onions, cabbages. Have since added garlic, cauliflowers, more onions and lettuce
The greenhouse in this picture is a good few years old (30 years +) but well made. We had to move it as it was too close to the house. This took a weekend and required some careful removal of the glass. It was well worth the effort so I think seeking out secondhand greenhouses may be worth doing. The vine that was left behind was not quite so happy and now no longer bears fruit but still looks the part in the summer. I have a couple of vegetable boxes. The nets round about them are to stop the rabbits and they do work for the most part. We do have rabbit stew sometimes too!
