Yes I do,four gardens. A perennial flower garden, a herb garden and a tomato and pepper garden and a water garden. I love to work outdoors plus, it's very good exercise.

You probably couldn't call what I have a "garden" -- it's four windows, two outer windowsills, and a few plants hanging over the fire escape. I'd like nothing more than to have an actual yard, or at least a sunny deck, so I could grow a lot more stuff. I can't do much with what I have but I do what I can.

Nope. But I REALLY REALLY want one. I'd love to be spending time outside with the child and the dog, without having to go up the local park.

Yes, mostly, somewhat. I had a small tomato one with peppers last year, only mostly because I got some free plants that Lowes was going to throw away and someone that worked there came home with a truckload. I want to do bigger, so last fall I planted lasagna mulch. Layers of newspapers and leaves from the trees, gras cuttings etc. The space is large. The mulch does not appear to me that it has worked so I will end up roto tilling it anyway. But we have had so much rain in the last 3 months, I don't know if it will ever unsog enough to tear into it. Meanwhile, I have been pumping pond water to it to further fertilize it with fish poop and mud, an occasional tadpole and green water. Too much water this month.  * frown * It will certainly delay planting. I was going to do seeds, but I didn't have the extra money around. I don't know if it's going to happen the way I planned. The grassy part that needs to be tilled is so freaking thick, I'm afraid it will burn the motor up. It's already more trouble than it might be owrth. I haven't had much luck with gardens in the past 20 years. I guess I suck at it, I don't know.

If you mean edible stuff - no way. Too much work, they never grow and they attract bugs and bees.

There's a sort of yard area that's common to all the houses in the section (of four terraces) because most people access their houses through the back. Then there are four tiny separate gardens set back from there. We had a problem with our back door jamming, so I've not been into the garden since about October - I just go to the yard area to get our bin when the rubbish is being collected. Hopefully come the summer (which starts for me on Thursday at about 11am - woohoo!!! And last until the end of May - less woohoo...), I can spend some time in the actual garden - the grass could use a cut!
