Have you always dreamed about growing your own produce, yet you skeptical about the size of your landscape? No matter how much space you have available, you can create a beautiful and edible landscape design at home. Impress your friends and neighbors with the delicious fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown right in your backyard by getting started with these tips.
- Opt for the space-saving option of miniature trees. If you cannot grow full size trees, grow all your favorite fruits on dwarfs that only reach 4 to 5 feet.
- Benefit from the attractive rhubarb plants. You can grow rhubarb in your vegetable plot or use it to fill flower beds with some additional foliage.
- Use strawberry for edging. Grow one or two rows of plants around borders and flower beds, or use them anywhere in your landscape that needs ground cover.
- Design your vegetable garden to be aesthetically pleasing. Decorative ideas include raised beds separated by wood chip or gravel paths.
- Plant fruit-bearing bushes. Blueberry and currant bushes are easy to grow and harvest, while they also add an attractive quality to your garden.
- Grow vegetable plants according to their appearances. Consider the colors of leaves when sowing seeds of different vegetables close to each other.
