Gotcha.

So tell me, what SPF records go where and why, and what information can
the recipient assert based on the SPF records?

No useful SPF records are possible for gardener.com unless they
also offer SMTP AUTH service for sending mail.

I think what you intend is the following:

gardener.com = v=spf1 +all

... Because mail.com has no idea where the various clients send from.

Exactly.

Mail.com needs to provide SMTP AUTH service before SPF is useful for its
domains.
