Hi,

I started my gardening career on a third-floor balcony. I had herbs/lettuce/tomatoes and some fruit in pots, with a just a tiny spot in between for me to sit and enjoy the sun :) Today I’ve got my own backyard (yeah!) and am using it to grow as many edibles as possible. I have also applied for an allotment, and am hoping to get one before it’s time to start sowing and planting next spring. I have been on myfolia for a few weeks now, and am absolutely hooked. It is changing (improving!) all the time, and I love being a part of it and exchanging ideas with other gardeners.

Annet's Frontyard garden

Zone 8 At first I didn't really think about adding this one, since it's not entirely mine. We live in a three-story apartment building, and technically, only the first few feet from th...

Annet's On the fence garden

Zone 8 I created this strip along the garden wall, by popping out a few paving stones, and adding some potting soil to the sand mix that was in there. During my first year in this gard...

Annet's Picture Album garden

Zone 8 This garden is slightly different from my others, in that it's not a 'real' garden with plants. In this Picture Album Garden I would like to collect artistic depictions of plant...

Annet's Shady Herb & Shrub garden

Zone 8 This is probably my most shady garden, so far the sage, wild strawberries, hydrangea, lilac and other shrubs have done well here. In autumn I get lots of great colours from this...

[Archived] Annet's Cold Frame garden

Zone 8 I bought this on ebay a few months ago. It used to be on the deck of an old-fashioned barge, it even smelled of 'boat' a little :) Anyway, I sanded and painted it, and put a new...
