We're trying to grow as much of our own food as we can. It's year 1 on this property. After an almost rainless winter, our small continuous harvest feels gratifying. But it's only the tip of the iceberg.

The garden is located at 5400ft elevation. It is comprised of one 18"x 20' raised bed connected to three 4'x8' raised beds, four repurposed 24" pvc water pipe sections and several assorted containers. All the wood was...

I just moved to this house in November. The zone is 8b even though it says 7a. I can tell that the garden beds were not organic because of the undecomposed particles of blue here and there. I have been working on the...

We grow,can or freeze 90% of all the vegetables we eat. I've decided to start saving our own seeds so this year we will plant as many heirloom varieties as we can.Breaking News:Facebook you've been replaced!

My vegetable garden is getting a makeover this year!  Not only will I be growing more heirlooms, but the area where they will be growing will have a Bohemian flair.....colorful, artsy, fun, and perhaps a bit of the...

The success of our gardening has been great, with some disappointments due to the learning curve. We are learning what we can do when we have 4 months of temperatures over 100 and no rain. Our soil is all sand! We...

We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!!  We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more.  We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for...

Two years ago my family moved to a under-resourced community to help with community organizing and community development. Getting the neighbors to trust us was our first big obstacle to overcome. Even though I had never...

After years of being on the waiting list, on 4 June 2011 I finally got a garden allotment (known as volkstuin in Dutch). It's just a 15-minute bike ride from home, at the back of an old Dutch dike - and has a little...

I want to get so good at this so I can really rely on my garden more than the grocery store. Gardening is complicated & easy, definitely interesting, full of rewards, & Peaceful.

My garden was built when we received our stimulus check 4 years ago from Uncle Sam. We bought some deer fencing, top soil, lumber, and concrete. Our Uncle had some some extra wood left over from cement forms from a...

I've been working on my garden for 20 years.  After raising 3 sons, it's changed from a play yard with lawn to an edible landscape, with native plants, bee and hummingbird gardens and a vegetable garden camouflaged...

My garden is in raised beds as we have so many different critters waiting to taste it every summer.  It has to be totally enclosed to protect it from Elk, deer and birds. Every summer when I plant I look out over the...

I read an article by Rosalind Creasy in an issue of a Mother Earth News magazine describing her edible landscape garden in California. Because we recently removed 6-40 ft. spruce trees on the south side of the house...

Our garden is largely recycled containers, with plants that we start ourselves or "rescued" volunteers from other places. This is the fourth year of this growing project, it's all organic using composted manure for...

My garden is always evolving and this year I am almost starting from scratch. When we sold our old house I split some of my perrenials and took them with me. As our new house was not ready until this year, I planted...

Several of my siblings and I have a garden on my brothers' farm. I grow vegetables, herbs, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and saskatoon berries. I also have a Romeo Cherrie tree and an unproductive hazel nut...

In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring...

"More is better for me. The more diversity, the better. I like a complicated landscape, with all kinds of variations in the details, one that you don't immediately understand just looking at it from a distance, one...

II remember gardening as a child with my grandparents. As I go older I wanted to have a small garden of my own to grow different vegetables and enjoy the outdoors. I have 100Sq/ft garden that I try and grow anything...

My garden began with one raised bed.  I grew up in Ohio where you could pretty much stick a plant in the ground and it would grow.   I now live in Texas where the "soil"  is not soil.   Its clay.  I think they...

We have an average sized suburban lot which is mostly dedicated to the antics of our three busy boys.  The 15' x 25' area behind the garage was pretty worthless lawn, though, so I spent last year converting it into...

It's only been a couple of years since I started gardening.  I enjoy planting different varieties of open pollinated and heirloom veggies.

I bought my first home in January of this year.  I am so excited to grow all the things I was limited to in pots. I have had 4 raised beds built and am trying my hand at really growing for the first time without so...

A Kansas (mostly) heirloom vegetable and herb garden. The garden is being started indoors at my home and will then move to a plot at Countryside Community Garden just down the street.

It all started the summer of 2010 when my goal was to make fresh salsa. In the beginning it was just one little patio tomato plant in a container,and from there it grew, and it grew and it grew...and it is still growing....

This year we're going for quality, not quantity. I started six varieties of tomatoes, but only six of each (we'll see how that works out; so far none have sprouted)... also three types of eggplants, six of each, Some...

In 2008 we moved to our home in the middle of one of Sacramento's oldest neighborhood. The backyard was overgrown and unkempt. We began the slow process of removing old dying trees and weeds. A shovel at a time we leveled...

LisasTherapy is my backyard reward for staring at a computer all day. (Wait... I'm still on the computer, but I digress.) My garden is never big enough, so it's grown every year after I whine to the hubby that I need...
