Both beds are filled, amended and planted. A grid trellis will provide support for the cucumbers, while the tomatoes will be trained to a single leader and spiraled up the green stakes. Photo by Steve Masley

This vegetable garden is laid out on rectilinear lines with paths creating a cross-axis. The main path is flanked by raised beds and ornamented by a gateway at each end. The gateways themselves draw the eye through and perhaps out of the garden, but mixed plantings adding colour and texture to the beds invites the viewer to stay and spend some time looking around and enjoying how rich a garden filled with edibles can be.

This is an urban single family home situated on a narrow lot that is about 1/8 of an acre and is only 2 blocks from the Pacific Ocean. I designed a completely new garden and installed everything along with the client’s help. The garden I designed consisted of an ornamental grass garden, a xeriscape garden with decomposed granite mounds, fruit trees and shrubs located throughout, a jungle forest garden, and raised brick vegetable beds in the rear. Previously, there was a wood deck covering almost the entire property that was removed by the owner. We installed root guard around all of the walkways. I installed the raised brick vegetable beds and walkways around the vegetable beds. Many of the plants were chosen to provide food and habitat for pollinators as well. Dozens of fruiting plants were located in the garden. So, it is called the “Garden of Eatin”. Landscape design and photo by Roland Oehme

In ground winter vegetable garden. The bed was cleared and the soil was amended. The vegetables were planted in sections with stepping stones for easy harvesting. The tall cedar obelisk was planted with peas in the winter and beans in the summer.

Our "classic" gardens include raised beds filled with nutrient rich organic soil, cedar post, rails, and caps, space efficient layout, animal resistant fencing w/ground barrier, a secure latching gate, and a "window box" featuring beautiful animal-detering flowers and herbs. A great garden for those who want the best!

Design ideas for a mid-sized traditional full sun front yard gravel formal garden in San Diego for summer.

An organic vegetable garden with an ocean view is luxury in its purest form. Two 15-foot by 4-foot raised planters were made out of redwood, and only the exteriors were stained to ensure no leeching occurs into the food.
