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!

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...

A combo of flowers, vegetables, fruit, one bee hive, three chickens, and whoever else happens along (hummingbirds!!!!). Mostly heirloom, all organic. Although YourGardenShow wants to make me in Zone 6b, we're really...

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.

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...

I inherited my love of gardening from my father, who plopped me down in the dirt next to him as soon as I was old enough to sit up.  This particular Dirt Mama's Garden has been evolving since 2003 when we bought this...

I lived in Illinois my whole life until moving to Cheyenne in late 2011. I love to grow plants and try new things. Because of the climate and because I'm a renter, I will be doing mostly container plants this year....

We bought a house six years ago in the suburbs of San Antonio Texas.  We don't have alot of space so I had my husband build me a garden box right outside of the back door.  Since then, he's built me another garden...

I love to travel and even more, I love planning trips. As I close my eyes and envision each exotic destination - swaying palms, soft flowers, breezy caresses, soothing water, and the warmth of fragrant sunshine......

My garden started out just about 20 sq. ft. Eight years later it is closer to 5000 sq. ft. and gets to be about 10 ft tall in several areas. No chemicals or synthetics are used but the silty clay has been amended with...

Gardening is always on my mind. When I can't be in it, I'm thinking of it. Heirloom seeds with a story make me weak in the knees as well as old garden tools. We moved to our lil cottage in 2010 and have begun the garden...

My garden is 10 foot by 19 foot and has flax, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, squash, gourds, borage, onions and lettuce.  

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...

I redesigned my vegetable garden last year at Franklin Park Community Garden with the Vegetable Garden Planner on Mother Earth News. I am implementing the full plan this season and it will be a lot easier to tend and...

I love trying new varieties & since I'm relatively "new" to gardening that is easy.  It is also easy to learn from your mistakes.  I named the garden after 2 of my kitties (my other passion) because they love...

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...

This is the continuation of the Le Corone garden here on YourGardenShow, renamed in Lisa's honor. We want to carry on her legacy of great gardening practices and it's going to take a few of us to do it. The team here...

1/4 acre plot with fruit trees and a large garden with seven 10x4ft beds and 150+ spots for melons, squash and other large plants. I focus rather heavily on tomatoes, sweet peppers, watermelon, muskmelon, cucumbers,...

Our garden was planted in 2010 (and was much smaller then!). My son named the garden in 2012. The plan was to plant tall plants on the outside so he could "spy" out of it! The name has been quite apt as we are always...

My 30'x70' piece of paradise.  Nothing makes me happier than to work in my garden and get lots of dirt under my fingernails.  I spend almost every day in the cold Ohio winters dreaming of how I will plant my garden,...
