How to start a productive vegetable garden now
Plan a sunny, level site with fertile, deep well drained soil. Get a soil analysis from a local extension service, improve with compost or manure, double dig to aerate, and consider raised beds. Avoid steep slopes and, if needed, hire a landscaper to terrace for drainage and level grade near a water source.
Planning a sunlit French style kitchen garden
Martha Stewart advises selecting a sunny site with at least six hours of sun daily for a bountiful harvest. She favors potager layouts that balance beauty and function with symmetrical divided beds and clear pathways. Take multi angle photos of the site to guide placement and scale, and refer to the Green section for more.
