Map it Out!

It sounds like a lot of work, but again, preparation is key. Now, that you know

which areas receive the best sunlight for your planned crops, and where you have
the best access to water and good soil, you need to do a little more groundwork.

Your site has to be free from underground utility lines. Local utility companies will
happily locate and stake out their underground lines if you contact them.

Create your map, by first taking a photo of the site to map out the garden. Shoot
the photo from a point which allows a full view of your entire garden area. Now,
you draw a design of the area and mark the shady areas or any areas which have
obstructions such as roots, large rocks, or slopes.

What Type of Garden Should You Grow?

The traditional backyard garden, also known as a cottage garden, has plants
which are planted in rows. This type of garden usually has square or rectangular
plots and may feature neat paths to allow easy access for planting, maintenance,
and harvesting.
