The Edible Garden
The flavor of home-grown fruits and vegetables, picked fresh from the garden, is hard to beat. Whether you have the space for a separate kitchen garden, or room for just a few crops.
GROWING VEGETABLES
Even if your garden is tiny, you can still find room for some vegetables. The larger the space you set aside, the greater the selection you can raise, but even if you cannot devote a whole bed to vegetables, you can grow a few of your favorites among the flowers in an ornamental border.
PLANTING AND PRUNING FRUIT TREES
Once you have chosen and planted a fruit tree, you need to prune it regularly so that it produces a good crop of ripe, healthy fruits. In the first couple of years, the aim is to form a basic, permanent framework of branches. After than, prune to keep this framework balanced and open so that it produces a constant supply of fruiting wood.

Bird Garden Plan
Plants in your garden or in containers attract birds and hummingbirds with their aromas, bright colors, nectar, pollen, and seed. Leave flower heads on the plants after their petals drop; they will form seed and attract many birds.
