the drain is on a slope and it is arround 10-12 feet long and it is a open drain installed by the county

A lot depends on who owns the land the drain runs thru. If it's yours you could plant flowers along it, or blueberry bushes, dwarf spruce ("Jean's Dilly"). There are lots of choices.

A backyard retreat four years in the making. Four long summers of blood, sweat and fun.

I want to cover it all with mulch I but I wasn't sure if I could put the whole works over my existing grass to kill it. i'd love to know an EASY way, my grass allergies are killing me!!

yea, you can. I did that for my children's play area. First you will need to mow it really low then put down the weed barrier and follow up by mulching heavily on top. Occasionally you will find some grass trying to creep in but all you will need to do is pluck it out. Good Luck.

I live in Reno, Nv (Northern Nevada). I have a landscaped backyard with a flower garden, but I want to make a small vegetable garden that will I will plan and take care of by myself.

I am planning to start it just outside the fence to my backyard. I will be buying live plants instead of seeds. It will not be attached to the drip system that my other plants use (where's the fun in that?)

I plan to research the matter online and check with the nursery for information. I just wanted to also get advice from hobby vegetable gardeners themselves.

Thank you for your time:)

Leave plenty of room between your rows or plants. Your garden may look thin at first but the pay-off will be great. Fertelize every two weeks, water every two or three days,and good luck . Oh ya,dont forget to weed!!

Price: $25.95 $19.72

The backyard is openly seen by neighbors all around.
The area used to be a vegetable garden.
I don't know anything about landscaping!
I don't have much money to spend!
Central Illinois climate
Don't want any water features

keep it a vegetable garden
it really doesn't take a lot of effort
you just need to water once in a while
even if you don't weed it, you will still get vegetables

you will get a lot of pride out of what gets produced in your garden

I'm talking less than 20 bucks for transplants and 5 bucks for seed

don't be afraid

Right now, my backyard is just a piece of land with brown dirt.

However, I have never done gardening and I don't know where to start.

Here's what I need to get done:
1.) I want to pave large tiles/flagstones for a patio
2.) In the back, I want to have a garden stone wall where I can plant trees (for privacy), flowers, and attach garden lights. (Example: http://landscapetour.com/db5/00432/lands capetour.com/_uimages/DSCFback1.JPG)
3.) Garden stairs leading up to the fence door, like this: http://image06.webshots.com/6/1/54/62/16 6815462ZaMGEA_ph.jpg

This is what I want to achieve, except more squared, not round.

Is there a garden landscaping forum online where I can get help from professionals and experts? I don't know where to start.

I'm also scared that weeds will grow later if I carelessly remodel without prior experience.

Thanks.

I hope these help, as for weeds they come regardless. As for ideas I think your almost there, its just confidence. join these sites and ask I am sure they will help you.
