What is best to plant in a home garden? Keep in mind it is not huge and we would like to plant things that will take up the least amount of space but yield a nice harvest. So I guess I could ask, what plants give you the most bang for you buck?
What are your thoughts?

We have a sunken hole we want to turn into a ‘garden’ of some kind. …the land is very high at the rear of our house so its basically just a big hole in the ground with scrubby grass sides! NOT very pretty - we work from home so expect to have lots of visitors this summer - here are photos - http://myauctionpix.com/membertemplate.php?a_id=1321&bg_id=25….it has to stay gravelled as its also drainage for the whole garden/paddock that slopes into it (thats the concrete well on the right ) - under the gravel is drainage pipes - I’d love a paved area for a gazebo & maybe some kind of water feature - maybe also an american style stone BBQ table with seating area etc - we have a TON of stone as you can see so we can build walls and all sorts for nothing - if you have any ideas i would be grateful as i have NO idea what to do with this area? ( btw - the patio will have wooden rails in a few days so that wil be more ‘finished’ too….thankyou so much - i really need some inspiration !

home&garden,of course if we have this garden in our house it feels like beautiful to ourselves,we makes feel great to have this garden in our house,because plants&flowers have to need in garden.

Tell me in short about your food gardening methods. With summer coming around, this is the perfect time to start a home vegetable garden.

My landlord pays my utilities and I don’t think he’d like it if he knew I had lights and fans going on

I need an Aloe Vera plant and A.Vera gel for an experiment. Do you think a local flower store or a bigger home and garden place in Toronto might have it?
How much could one cost?

We are trying to set up a little water lily garden on our Lanai. We checked home depot and most hardware stores with no luck. Any suggestions of nurseries or home &garden shops in Honolulu would be greatly appreciated
