Garden Plans > 2016: Backyard Garden

About this Garden Plan

Third year backyard kitchen garden. Combined raised beds, container gardening, wall planters and play area for kids. Hoping to transition into a market garden, but right now, focusing on home preservation (canning, freezing, drying, cold storage) for home-grown food throughout the winter. Garden is on the north side of the house, but receives ample sun throughout the day.
