Where do I start?
- Whether you are hoping to have a perennial patch of raspberries or strawberries, a large garden plot with a diverse range of vegetables, or just a small plot with some food staples, there are many foods that are viable for the Edmonton growing season. What/how you should plant depends on many factors, including the size of the garden you are hoping to have (or that is available to you), the types of foods you prefer, the amount of sunlight reaching your yard, and the amount of work that you want to put into your garden.
- Do some research (including checking out some of the GoBeyondTheLawn partners), start small, and have fun!
