Tell me about your garden.?

Question

Be descriptive, please.

Answer 1

Gardening is a lot of fun, but make no mistake about it, It's a lot of work and requires a lot of attention. I am now 76 and have had a garden most of my adult life. I believe when you are picking the fruit and vegies when they first begin to produce is the best time.
My garden is about 25 ft. X 25 ft. along one side I have aspargus that never needs much more than weeding because it comes up every year with spiers that I put in the freezer as they come up, then I rotate my crops every year (thats best) I have had to lessen my gardening in the past 2 years (age) but I had 2-3 rowes of potatoes,about 6 ft.of carrots, about 6 ft. of turnips, a row of snap beans, onions 1 kind for the tops and 2 kinds for the bulb, radish and I use German Giants, Tomatoes and I use 3-4 diffrent names Celebrity, Golden boy (for color) and lately I have been useing a tomato called Prudens Purple I like this tomato because it has a lot less seed and it is a very meaty and good tasting tomato, Cucumbers (we like the burpless)
We have 2 apple trees that I started from a seed , 2 grape vines, a peach tree (young) And when ever we eat fruit I save the seed and just through them in the garden, then in the spring if you see one comming up just transplant it where ever you want (take plenty of dirt with it so as not to disturb the root system). At this time of year I am getting the garden ready for spring (cleaning it out) When I cut grass or pick up leaves, it all goes into the garden, I till it under a bit so the wind dosen't spread them around again. Have Fun with your Garden.

Answer 2

I have several gardens devoted to different things. I have a winter greens garden filled with mixed greens. I also have a small grass garden at the back of my house that still has lush clumps of a variety of grasses I have collected over the years. In the front of my house I have a garden with phlox and canna lilies bordered by irises now dormant. On a terraced hill I have day lilies, rhododendron, monkey grass and holly hocks...one of my favorite flowers that usually re-seeds itself did not come back this year...cleomes or spider flowers.
Oh btw I live in the piedmont of North Carolina which is a temperate region and a great place to grow plants.

Answer 7

It's a dream come true and I hope you won't be mad, but it exists in the future. Right now my husband's in residency so we rented instead of buying a home, but we want one and one primary reason is so I can garden like my Grandma taught me! I am a veggie fanatic and can't wait to "grow my own." I want an apple tree and a cherry tree. I'd like a pergola with grapes. I will grow onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, green onions, strawberries, cabbage, collard mustard and spinach greens, tomatoes and brussels sprouts. I'd like flowers, too, but I'll leave those to my hubby who loves landscaping. Gotta have a few lilac bushes though... the most heavenly smell in the world!!! I'll also do lots of herbs like cilantro, basil, rosemary and such for cooking and making soaps and candles. Man, I cannot wait, thanks for letting me share my fantasy.

My garden is an antique bath tub filled with carnivorous plants. It has all different kinds of North American pitcher plants, sundews, bladderworts, and Venus flytraps. There are also bog orchids and bog lilies in there with the carnivorous plants. Quite an exiting little eco-system where life and death drama is played out every day.
