I tried gardening once... or twice... The fat Frenchie figured out how to jump the fence- which is taller then she is- and destroyed everything once... or twice...

I mainly have an ornamental garden but have some soft fruit strawberries/raspberries and blueberries and grow 'pretty' veg in with the flowers so beans and peas ...very English cottage garden style
) unfortunately without the cottage to match. I love home grown toms but I find they take a lot of effort here in the UK best undercover and can't let them dry out or get too wet .
I am however lucky that we have some old woodland behind our house and there is a lot of great foraging to be found blackberries crab apples elderberries sloes ( most of which I turn to alcohol ) wild garlic ...I'm always on the lookout. It's kind of like veg gardening but without the effort

Just found this thread. I love my gardens! Have tomatoes, corn, strawberries, eggplant, asparagus, you name it i have it. Lots or peppers including ghost and scorpion peppers. The cats love stalking the gardens for grasshoppers and moths (fun for me). Herb garden is overflowing. Last year we made 4 gallons of pesto and 12 gallons of hot sauce.

Today's tomato harvest.

I love that raised bed...what a great design! I've been wanting to start a small vegetable garden in my backyard. It's a small yard, as part of it is taken up by an above ground pool, and a shed in each of the back corners. The previous owner had a little garden patch, but poured gasoline on it and burned it down at the end of the season before moving out. It's the best spot in the entire yard for growing, but I'm afraid of planting there because of the gasoline. I was wondering...if I planted a raised garden bed in that location, should I lay down a plastic barrier before adding soil, so as to avoid any root contact with the contaminated soil?
