Submit Your Garden for 'Garden of the Day'
Now that the weather’s finally getting to the point where we can actually sit outside, we’re feeling more in the mood to talk about gardens.

Now that the weather’s finally getting to the point where we can actually sit outside, we’re feeling more in the mood to talk about gardens. So for the next few weeks (or as long as the submissions come in), we’d like to feature photo(s) of readers’ gardens (or other planted spaces!), along with a brief description of the thought-process and work that has gone into them. As a teaser, we’ve included a photo (above) of how one front yard on our block is coming along. Please email your submissions to brownstoner@brownstoner.com.
Okay everybody, calm down and take some pictures.
i wonder if 5:01 has been laid in this century yet…
anyone…?
anyone…?
Holy sh*t! So I wrote that first post and then went straight off to the BBG’s members only sale to pick up some plants. I come home and read this idiocy.
Not quite sure how “love this idea” and “pretty early” turned me into a “really negative dude”.
5:01 who thinks this and that s/he is being generous to his/her neighbors by gardening year round is definitely pretentious.
My point about it being early simply reflected my thought that using gardens as a ‘renovation’ blog only for the next few weeks won’t produce something much like previous kitchen/bath features. I have photos of my garden in difft stages, but I guess I doubted others would. I thought people showing new gardens (like new kitchens and baths featured before) would need time to show them empty and then with a few months growth.
Guess I was wrong on both counts of it being early and loving this. Now it seems we’ll all be treated to the joy of a posting about 5:01s generous and fully blooming gift to his/her neighbors.
oh, and hell yes. This Bushwick backyard geek will represent.
You’re ALL wrong! :p
It’s deep into spring in my backyard. Feels cloer to late spring in fact.
Roses about to pop. Hydrangeas getting bushy and buddy, but no flowers. Lillies going nuts but no blooms yet – azaleas already close to fading, tulips and daffs pretty much toasted.
Perhaps I’m just in a micro climate. But the mild to non-existent winter may have more to do with it. hell we have ANNUALS that came back. wtf? and herbs in pots that normally die off in a deep freeze are bushy and crazy. Oh glory be to my backyard geekouts.
it’s too early, 8:42.
can I send in a pic of my tiny messy backyard and see if anyone has ideas/suggestions for what i could do with it? i have a couple, but would love to hear what other people have to say.
6.10 – it all started with the first dingdong post.
You people are pathetic.
ONLY brownstoners could turn a gardening post into a disgusting peacock show of who’s smarter than who.
