Where can I live in Brooklyn or Queens that satisfies these criteria: a yard big enough for a garden that gets some sun, safe neighborhood, and has decent public transportation?

As always, what is your budget? That will significantly determine which nabe.

Ridgewood!  Especially near Fresh Pond Road.  Great housing, shopping and transportation.  See the recent article in the Wall Street Journal.

Bay Ridge.  The only drawback to Bay Ridge is their public transportation.  You’re stuck with the R!

Poster is kidding right? That’s the definition of almost all of Brooklyn, Queens, Northern NJ, Western Long Island, Westchester, etc… Try Glendale.

If you are serious you can buy a nice little house in Greenwood near the slope or nearer to sunset park and have a good yard, safety and a decent downtown commute to manhattan. One is closer to downtown and brownstone Brooklyn, but he other may have access to express N as well as R trains. But Ridgewood, Glendale, Sunnyside, Bayside as noted above are also all awesome little neighborhoods. So is Bellerose.
