Here's mine.
Used to be much bigger and more ugly really till we got the extension built for Karen, whereupon naturally most of the garden was used up. Here's what's left.
Yes, I know I have to cut the grass down. I will soon. Honestly...
This is the view from the back door
And along the side. The wall you see is of course her extension bedroom
Fun fact: the shed you see at the bottom of the garden was recently found to be infested with about 150 mice! Well, it hadn't been opened for about ten years or more. It's cleaned out now though. The white door across the bottom was there to stop the cats from investigating the mice and getting near the poison. I just haven't found anywhere else to put it yet.
We used to have a rickety wooden fence here, which thanks to my half-ass-job-doing brother was not secured in the ground and used to wave like a sail in the wind, fell down a few times.

Shouldn't a post in a thread about gardens (that you created in the first place) show pics of actual gardens? All I see is a strip of untended weeds.
If I had a real camera, I'd post pics of my yard. My mom is bit of a gardening freak, and so our front yard is actually kind of impressive, especially now that it's Spring. The very front and one spot in the middle, is lined with crapemyrtle trees, and for about a week in the Spring or Summer or whenever, our front yard just has this vibrant curtain of bright pink that makes all the other yards around us look like ****. I'm not a flower lover by any means, but even I think it looks beautiful at that time of year.
Our backyard is less maintained, largely because we've always had large dogs with access to it that have kind of made gardening almost impossible. There's a strip of garden around part of the backyard that's protected by wire fencing, but that's mostly small trees and high bushes for privacy's sake.
