Like, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, snap beans, peas, kohlrabi, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cantaloupes, etc. We could go on and on. These are just a few examples, but just use your imagination, and you’ll find out how easy it is.  It will help a lot if you put it down on the paper. You can change it, add to it, modify it, until you get to what will look the most satisfying to you. When you happy with it, then you’ve got it!

Look at where is the sun coming up, and where is it going down compared to the position of your property. This is pretty important, so you’ll know how to plan your layout of your little paradise.

Prepare the ground. this is very important. If the soil is not fertile enough, you might want to add some amendments, like composted cow manure, and other soil amendments available at your local hardware stores or garden centers. Always read the instructions on the label.

What are your preferred fruits? Think about it, and plan accordingly. How about some apple, peach, plum, cherry, apricot, and other fruit trees that you would like to have and pick them off the trees with your own hand? It can’t be any fresher than that.

These fruit trees can be planted in an orchard, or along the fence of the property, or strategically placed as to form a nice landscape.  It could have the potential to improve tremendously the value of your property.

All these fresh fruits and vegetables have tremendous health benefits! And what kind of garden would that be, without some berry fruits as well?
