on the land. Now choose what you prefer: square beds or well managed
rows? Whatever you choose, do not forget to separate them with aligned
bricks or paths made of grass.

require is plenty of sun and free draining soil. The best options to
grow include: beet, radish, pepper, onion, carrot, peas and spinach.

your kitchen garden as well. Few of the berries include: blackberries,
goji berries, raspberries, honeyberries, strawberries and blueberries.
