I don't have a garden in my flat so do all my gardening at my daughters house. as every year I will have a lovely row of colourful flowers for my grand kids to enjoy and also a patch where we grow veg together. They love doing the basic onions, potatoes and carrots with me

THE COMPETITION IS CLOSED !!!

My goal this year is to get lots of colour in my garden. Last year we dug it up to a blank canvas, have added decking, new turf and raised beds. The colour is starting to bloom from the rhodadendrons and azaleas and the various other shrubs i have planted. I want it to be perfect! A relaxed haven for the summer.

I've made a good start but there is still a lot to be done, I want to extend the patio and I desperately need a new seating set this year

I'm having a go at growing veg this year. We already grow some fruit - apples, blackcurrants, redcurrants, raspberries, gooseberries, cherries and blackberries. But I haven't really got into veg. I have made a start with rocket, brussel sprouts, brocolli, beetroot, carrots and broad beans. They are all very small atm except the beans.
I also want to plant some more ground cover and replace a couple of old flowering shrubs that I dug out as they were old and overgrown.

We've got quite a lot to get done, we had a new conservatory fitted last year and we need to sort out the patio area this year which will be a big job but it will be fabulous for bbqs when it's finished

We built new flowerbeds at the tail end of last summer at the top of our deck. They are huge so we didn't get round to filling them. That's the job this summer - fill and arrange.

My garden goal this summer is to actually have a garden!

It has mostly been an overgrown mess, but we're currently in the process of having it renovated, which has taken a long time. It was full of stinging nettles and brambles and was just so unsafe for the kids.

Currently we just have soil and the turf will be getting laid next week.

WE gave our front garden an overhaul last year, my husband made raised beds for me to save my back .... I need to now fill them with perennials, have been buying a few at a time, this would certainly help finish it off!!

I plan to put some play items like a swing, slide and sand pit for the grandson to play with

I plan on creating a new flowerbed. We have just a generic lawn as the house is fairly new and I can't live without somelovely flowers. I also want to make it wildlife friendly so we already have plenty out for the birds and they are finally starting to visit.

We've never really been gardeners, but bought a house two years ago with what had at one time been a very loved garden, but it had become very overgrown. It isn't very big, but it's very busy, with lots of trees, bushes, flowers & plants and despite what we've done so far, there is still lots to do. I'll be happy if we manage to learn what to do to look after the plants we have and tame them all a little bit!

Hubby works very hard in our garden to provide most of the fruit and veg we need. I harvest and cook it! Our goal this year is to encourage more wildlife into our garden by increasing the amount of wild flowers and providing bug hotels. We have already put up some nest boxes and one has been in use already and have a pond that attracts many birds to drink and bathe as well. Nothing better when all our chores are done than sit in our conservatory drinking tea and watching the antics of our visitors

I want to level out my garden, i'll probably have to have different levels as it's so steep. I really want a lovely patio area that fits a table the whole family can eat out on.

We're moving soon to a place with a much smaller garden so we're just evaluating what to do with it - there's definitely room for a nice summerhouse though!

My garden has been dominated by man sheds, ladders and a cement mixer for the past 3 years and I'm very keen to claim a bit of it back to enjoy as a family space with room for seating, a barbecue and a chimonea. I would like some fragrant and easy to maintain shrubs to camouflage the sheds and some handing baskets. Here's hoping !

Our garden is more like a field, so it's hard to do anything with. We should plant more flowers though.

I'm turning the front garden into a wildlife garden - lots of flowers for bees; homes for toads; a small pond.
The back garden is where I plan to grow more fruit and vegetables and I hope to add a small pond there soon. I've got some fuchsias waiting to be planted too (edible, believe it or not!). But gardens are never really 'finished' so I accept that and simply enjoy the process!

At the moment our garden hilly, barren and Cat Poo Heaven!! We want to level it off and put down more patio so that we can spend more time outside.

I have some VIP visitors coming from USA and they are both keen gardeners! I am in a state of panic as my garden needs so much TLC right now - I plan to trim everything back and concentrate on the pond and patio area. I need to clean out some beds that are suffering from overcrowding and my lovely husband in building an arch for me to train and tie plants on...so much to do!

We recently moved into our first home and the garden is just a jungle. I don't think the previous owners touched it during the 18 months they lived there - they didn't even mow the grass! So we've got a mountain of work to do and things to buy - we're probably going to need to hire a tree surgeon. Goodness knows how we're going to get rid of all the weeds, including blackberry bushes

I've just moved to my first family home with a garden. I really want to teach my young daughter how to plant and grow flowers. We were thinking of getting some hanging baskets and planting some daffodils, tulips and chrysanthemum s in the garden to get her interested in it
