Thanks for sharing @nikolina! It looks like you have lots of room for a fairly large garden. How many acres? We garden, but on a much smaller scale. We normally have 3 Kale varieties, 6 bean plants, 3 or 4 tomatoes, 3 or 4 cucumbers, 2 or 3 zucchini, and a couple short rows of garden onions. Also have strawberry and raspberry patches. I plant around 24 flower planters for our backyard, it's like a park in the summer.

Of course these photo's are from last summer, still waiting for springtime here in Wisconsin.

It's about 35 meter long and 13 meter wide.
That's great, even a small garden can provide you with a lot of different veggies and fruits.
Flowers looks beautiful, I like how pots are arranged. :)
We also have flowers in front of our house, roses and similar (or maybe the same) as the white and purple ones on your 2nd picture.

Thanks @nikolina! The pots in the first photo had just been planted and placed there. Then they are arranged on the double decks we have off the back of the house. I also have a couple perennial gardens I started a few years back, which are filling in nicely now.
It sounds like you have some beautiful flowers as well.
And you have a very nice large veggie garden!

Thank you very much! Yes, it is very relaxing. Maybe I should do a post this spring when I start making the backyard into a park. I look forward to seeing your veggie garden take shape.

I'm working on getting a garden going. It is based on the technique shown in the video at backtoedenfilm.com

Hi Nikolina, it looks like you have a nice plot of land there. In Japan we would call that a farm because it is so big! I like to garden but I have to do it in pots because I don't have much land.

Oh wow, that's very interesting to hear! Here, on the countryside, most people have a peace of land like this, some are smaller, some are even bigger, depends on location and if they are doing it for themselves or trying to make some money out of it.
To me, gardening in pots is quite unusual but very interesting. :) Do you maybe have a post about it?

I just started writing here two days ago, so no posts here yet. Once I get gardening, I will see what I can take pictures of and post. Maybe I will post about the small farms in my neighborhood. I think they are smaller than your garden.
