Garden Plans > 2022: Carin's Vegetable Garden

About this Garden Plan

Vegetable garden with a few fruit bushes and plants. We already have a small orchard with cherries, apples, pears, plums and peaches. I recently retired and this garden will be built from scratch this spring. I'm hoping to grow a large variety of staggered crops for use straight from the garden and to preserve as well for winter. We have a lot of hungry deer visiting our property so the garden needs a 7' fence surrounding it. I hope to add a greenhouse next spring.
