Heres a thread to post pics of your lovely gardens, if you have one.
A few rules here:

Try not to get your house in the pic! We don't want any Flower Thiefs do we?:nervous:
Try not to post your Exact location Ok, if you live in Detroit we'd love to hear that, but no one wants to know the way you travel to work every morning.:dunce:

Some Lovely Gardens Here, Sorry no pics from me, as I have no garden, I live in an apartment block with only a balcony facing onto a busy road.
 
Only have photos from in the snow. That photo is from upstairs so there's a good 5-10m patio from that wall at the bottom to my back door.

And in that photo I can see a paddling pool over a table, a compost bin, a guinea pig run and an old uPVC window frame. Oh yeah, and we have 2 small sheds at the back.

No picture's here but I'd like to see some "real" garden pictures you know the ones that have mater's and tater's in them.Only one thing better than a plate of food!



Second helpings; think about it : your at the family gathering and you put a little bit of everything on your plate, the second plate you know what not to put on it.
 
No garden for us, since we live in a unit. Only a fairly long strip of private concrete. Hey atleast you can do something there.
 
The front, side or rear garden? Wow, am I going to have to take a lot of photos.
 
Some people near me have a great garden. Gardening is the grandpa's hobby.
 
Wait why does it matter if one lives near Detroit?

I'll take a photo of our gardens when I get home tonight, they consist mostly of tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants but we do have some flowers as well. Our yard is rather meh so I won't bother with that, the extreme heat we've had lately has burned it up pretty good. I don't bother watering since it always comes back.
 
eggplant (Aubergine to us Brits) is quite an odd name. I doubt the plant comes from an egg.

Our garden is gradually evolving. The gladioli have come and gone (orange flowers so they brighten up the garden), my herbs are doing okay. Sage and Basil in particular. Thyme isn't happy though. Mint is recovering thanks to numerous waterings.

Will get some piccies up. We used to have apple tree, plum tree and raspberry canes. Alas they have all gone due to lack of maintenance and disease.

Aubergine? How in the world do you even say that. My British grandparents don't even call it that, they say eggplant.

Anyways here is our gardens and my yards.

Ignore my dad's boat, he's getting it ready for a fishing trip in a couple weeks so he has it in the backyard to work on.

As I've said I live in the Detroit area, why that makes a difference I do not know.
 
Aubergine is definitely the English word for it. Though like with many words in our language it is actually from another. (French)

As for saying it:

O-ber-gene
 
Here it is from the front, although the front is mostly shrubs and not actual garden. My mom has hundreds of pictures of her gardens on our other computer, so I'll edit those in shortly.



Here's a quick video my girlfriend took of the garden in the back, although it looks like crap since it was getting dark and had just rained.
