Picture a beautiful “Victory” garden. Imagine the garden you have energy to start today and the garden you would like to see in five years.
Although gardens tend to be living organisms that grow and change in unexpected ways , a good long term vision will help you choose a good place for your garden beds, fruit trees and berry bushes and other perennials that you may not be ready to plant your first year. If you have some space, visualize a beautiful garden with some sitting areas, maybe a gazebo, possibly a swing set or play area for kids , a patio or BBQ.
Every good plan will consist of:
- List of garden vegetables, and flowers- your favorites!
- Garden bed layout: Type, shape and placement of your garden beds and perennial plants:
- First and last frost dates
- Compost Area: Type and placement
- Water system: Overhead or drip
- Fencing: Size, height and area
- Possibly a green house or cold frame
Develop a good garden calendar that reflects your own garden, and your first and last frost days.
