1. Garden Location

1. Sun -You will need full days of sunshine. Get out and observe your intended garden locations.
2. Drainage - some wet areas can be used with raised beds or drain tiles.
3. Micro-climates - anything to warm it upand avoid cold harsh winds early in the spring. So stone walls, fences (that do not block sunshine) tree line, etc.
4. Accessibility - is it convenient or time consuming to get to. Can you get to it with a truck load of composted manure? Have 2 gardens, the large mega-producer with the space eating squashes and rows of corn, and a kitchen garden with the lettuce and a tomato plant or two.
