I live in an apartment complex, so I don't have a garden, though I wish I did! But for mother's day, my husband did buy me some daisy seeds, and I have two little window boxes. They make me proud as nothing else (aside form my little boy!). Nothing to balance the chi like a lovely little window box!  :thumbsup:

My small garden area just has lettuce and some tomato plants.  I have a green pepper in a pot.  I might plant a couple of cucumbers.

I have the flower beds that the previous owners put in to maintain.  My summer project is to build a raised garden bed in the back around my deck so next year I can plant a garden.  I just finished transplanting a couple rose bushes that were in the back to the front beds (hoping they will take root and grow after the transplant).  Just need to move a few iris plants in the fall to completely free it up.

Really looking forward to having a garden next year!  Debating on whether I want to do some growing in pots this year though...

We just put our house up for sale, so I didn't do anything.  My daughter wants a flower garden.  We'll see what happens.

I garden every year. Not very big just a small raised bed on patio, it is sure nice to have tomatoes that taste like something other then cardboard. We don't harvest alot, but it all taste better than store bought, helps with the grocery bill and is good for us. I also like to connect with nature.

I live in an apartment so I have limited space for gardening, but I am still gable to grow lots of fresh herbs and peppers,  and loads and loads of wheat grass right on my windowsill, all  spring and summer long.

 I love to garden and try to have one every year even if it is a small one.  This year we are in the middle of a move so I'm thinking a garden may not be possible.  Perhaps if we get settled soon enough I can have a late summer garden or perhaps just get some Perennials planted so I'll have flowers next year.  I have some pretty cool hanging garden plants (tomatoes, hot peppers, and hummingbird flowering plant) which I may try to get up after the move just to have something this year.  What are you planting this year?

A friend of ours gave us her extra raspberry, blackberry and strawberry plants.   She was going to weed whack all the baby raspberry plants and asked us if we wanted to come over and dig them all up and save them.  They were spreading in all the wrong places, so we were very happy to have the free organic plants.

It took us a couple of days to get them all planted, 50+ plants in all, but we finally got it done, and all are perking up and getting used to their new home.
