    Think outside of squares; use circles and curves. Say no to rows; plant in patterns. Mix with flowers. Support with fine frames. Vegetable gardens can be a beautiful highlight to your landscape. Here is the video:

    Is that your garden, Nan? It's awesome! You're so clever when planting, and I love everything you show. :D I'm kind of dumb-struck by all that beauty.

    Nan I'm awestruck!!! :eek: What a gorgeous garden you have. I share your love of curves in a garden as they make it far more interesting and much easier on the eye than straight lines do. You obviously have two handsful of green fingers as everything looks fabulous. :D

    Wow, that's cool. I'm trying to grow some things vertically on a decorative arch (pole beans). I wish I'd watching this before I planted all my corn in rows. Oh well, something to look forward to next year!

    I too like curves, although I have both lines and curves I like the curves best. Great job on the garden and the video is nice too. You have great color out there, it looks like a great place to sit and relax with a cup of something. Thanks for sharing.

    Nan I really like that. I love the curves, arbors, etc. Has given me some ideas for mine next year. I do want an arbor, a bench of some kind and a trellis. Is that your garden? It is beautiful ;)

    Thanks! This is my garden in the backyard. Some photos were taken last year, though. Plants havn't in full bloom yet this year. I will make a new video when things grow to their full size over my new trellis. I just cann't wait to see how tall the giant tree tomato will be.
