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 :)

I grew up with a lot of family gardens.Bought a house and decided it was my turn to eat better and use the yard for more than a place to grow grass! Some years are better than others and this year, challenged by a mole who has moved in, I have re-thought my design - garden is definitely a work in progress! I'll share photos of past years, present and future as my little yard takes on BIG ideas :)

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

I am a stay at home mommy. I love crafting and creating. I love great music. I like to garden, and practice my photography. I live in Quesnel, BC, in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, CA.

I am retired so I should have more time to play in my garden but that is not necessarily so. I don't let the garden dominate my time. When it's time to go visit my kids in Ottawa, the garden will have to fend for itself.

I am a working mother with two children at home. We have a friendly few cats and a large red dog named Casey that we share our home with, and two older kids that drop by on week-ends. I have been interested in plants and animals since I was a kid on a large and remote cattle ranch. We now live in an urban setting on a smallish lot near Vancouver, B.C. My husband is getting very interested in growing leafy fall and winter vegetables recently, so we have created a large, new raised garden bed in our back yard to accompany the two older ones next to our garage. This helps to create delicious and nutritious salads and we are hoping to grow winter vegetables. Last year's attempt was a failure when they got buried in snow! (I would love to create a green-house next year. Fingers crossed.) We have raspberries & rhubarb growing in the older beds and we need more room for them. . . I am interested in heritage pant & animal strains, and in plants and animals native to this area. I am also interested in Horticultural Therapy, as I think that working in a garden and spending time closer to the natural world is inherently therapeutic. I have a passion for connecting kids to nature and gardening, and am very interested in doing research and work in this area as a counsellor. Currently working as a social worker in B.C. and working on a teaching degree part time so that I can get a Master's in Counselling. Love this site as a way to connect with other like minded people & to "travel".

Im a wife and mom of 4 kids! I love to garden and grow food for my family! Im grow my garden organicly and use lots of recycled items in my garden! My family calls me the Recycled Gardner! I love to cook all that I grow and share my food with Family and Friends! So join me for a little Recycled Gardening and great cooking!

We have apple trees, raspberry bushes, Saskatoon bushes, corn, pototoes, tomatoes, carrots, peas, onions, zucchini, rhubarb, cucumbers, lettuce, different types of herbs and a few others. We wanted our yard to be productive not just pretty.

i love it when i come home from work at night and can smell my garden before i open the gate!

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.....

I have been gardening at a very early age. When I was about 7, I had a small corner of my Mom's garden that she showed me how to grow peas and radishes. Then when I was older I was part of a children's gardening group for a few summers. We were given a garden plot and the seeds and much direction. I even got my picture in the paper holding some of my harvest. Now with my own home I have been activly growing vegetables amongst my flowers and for about four years have became passionate about exotic orchids. I have about 35 of them, mostly babies.

I have planted the following for this year: - 4 tomato plants - Silverqueen corn - sweet peas - musk melon - eggplant - summer squash - cucumber - red, yellow, green, and orange peppers - hot banana peppers - big jim new mexico chilis
