A two-level garden rising from the ground to cover the building and reach toward the colorful flowers hanging down from the roof.

A tiny organic patio garden full of edible flowers, herbs and vegetables. The trailing ground veggies live in hanging baskets and I am training them to hang off the eves. The plants also provide shade for my apartment in the hot sun.

I have four, raised, square-foot gardens (three are 4x4; 1 is 2x4), one in-ground square-foot garden (3x4), one Earthbox, and one Garden Patch Grow Box. I also have some peppers growing in front of my house (in-ground).

This is Wulf's Victory Garden. Location is near Waco Airfield & Museum in Troy, Ohio. I grow from seed cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and other edible stuff.

Well the season is almost over for us in Manitoba but we have had some gorgeous days this past week and the long weekend looks wonderful to. Will enjoy how wonderful everything looks at this time of year! I have added a few more photos of some that I missed over the past few months.

i grow herbs indoors and outdoors in containers. i can't grow anything else otherwise it would be stolen by rats

Sustainable gardening means, no pesticides. I like a dwarf lilac tree, and had a great time with a bunch of poppey seeds from Pender Island (2006). Our view over a tree covenant (habitat protected area) of many interesting native species trees, bushes la la la means outdoor enjoyment with multiple facets.

My garden oasis has been a 3 year work in progress.I'm the "plant as much as you can and pray through the winter" type gardner.So far so good.I'm already looking at fall purchases!

An experiment to see how many tomatoes I can grow in between the surf gear on my balcony.

Container garden on our back porch. Trying to make the most of a small space and loving it.

Novice gardener growing edible containers and other potted plants on the balcony and indoors... with moderate success.

This is an organic container kitchen garden in the heart of an industrial neighborhood. The Gowanus Canal right by my house has been nominated for priority Superfund status, so lately, I've been dealing with issues about soil toxicity and what that means for my compost, my greens, and what I should and shouldn't eat.

at the moment, I have a few planter boxes on balcony, flowers and tomatoes. plus indoor plants, not many atm, broken arm

The sanctuary of my life!

my garden is very small and is mostly shaded. its kinda under my deck. i also have a flowerbed in the sun. where i grow my favourite - petunias! :)

making a rock garden out of nothing.

North/east facing patio, 10ft by 10ft. On UVIC family housing. Tiny but mighty, I have about 20 non-stop begonias, blooming their hearts out, also 4 white impatiens, some kenilworth ivy, a couple of hardy fuschias and some corsican mint, mixed in with other annuals that can handle the shade. Great lil garden for kids, as nothing is toxic.

I have always been brutally awful at keeping indoor plants alive but I believe in the principle of try, try again and I am hoping my children's love and help will....help! As a child my dad would sprout grapefruit seeds between paper towel and a glass, put toothpicks into carrots and potatoes and show me how they sprouted, and it was fabulous. I want to do this too but take it to the next level: grow them the full way with my kids so they can see that even indoors we can grow and eat our own food. My main challenge is being a north-south facing townhouse that I have, really, one good kitchen window with south light: my north window gets virtually no direct sunlight, even less in the winter. So, I figure we will stick to what grows relatively well indoors: container tomatoes, a bean plant or two, perhaps some carrots, our herb pot and, just for fun, I will take on the challenge of growing my own coffee.

Hang pots everywhere, plant hardy seeds, and see what comes up this year.

Backyard Garden with a focus of attracting Hummingbirds, Butterflies and various birds. We live across from a lagoon and receive a large number of birds come to our property. My husband is a landscaper so we are aiming for a terraced garden with two connecting water features, a veggie garden, mostly perennial plants with some annuals for color. We have built a backyard firepit patio and we plan to build a gazebo at some point for those rainy nights. We have a particular fondness for Japanese gardens and will combine some of those elements for esthetics.

cement patio with plants in/on pots. very hot during the summer. do not have much shade. not here in winter but am for late spring, summer, autumn and then it is mexico. want to know what plants i can plant in oct/nov before i leave for when i get back and plants that do not need alot of water and not only cactuses. it is quite cool here in the winter. very rainy and damp0...

We just moved to a new apartment. Eastern exposure, almost total shade, so the marigolds & Martha Washington geranium I brought with me are not happy! Neither is my succulent planter. So I guess next year, it will be lots of coleus (love coleus), impatients, begonias, ferns, whatever I find suitable, I guess. There's not even much light for my houseplants.

Bellis perennis growing and some sort of flowers

My ex-garden in Long Island,New York was on a good size of land. A lotus pond with lotus, waterlily and Koi fish; Tree Peony, Coreopsis, Japanese Maple, Pines, Dogwoods, Azalea, roses and Clementis... Spring,summer,fall,winter, spring... enchanting to see the seasons change. Now I move to Hong Kong in which private land garden is almost not existing, only with a hot and a cool season. It is a big void without any plant life around, so I created this balcony garden to fill the void - from 8000 sq ft to 38 sq ft - what a drastic change! But that little sacred space capsulizes the universal joy of gardening - ????, ????...

This orchid was on the verge death until we saw it and saved the poor little guy. This orchid was planted in dirt for one and it hadnt been watered in weeks. still blooming and with comming inflorescence we decided we would take the journey and hopefully get it to recover. This photo was taken 3 weeks later! The right potting material and some love and voila!

Early Feb and our Landlord's son made easy work of ploughing a bit of spare land to extend the veg plot! Tony frantically now digging it over to remove sods which he is piling up to dry and then we will shake off and use soil for potting.(Tony now telling me we will cover the piles which are earth side up, the grass will rot and make a good compost material.)
