Before starting your organic garden, take an inventory of your garden’s conditions. Match plants to different sites and choose only those plants that can grow to their full potential where you plan to put them. Here’s what to assess:
Hardiness: Average winter low temperatures
Obstacles: Locations of buildings, overhead and buried cables, roads and property boundaries
Slope: Steep, flat, valley floors
Soil: Structure, texture, pH, drainage and moisture
Sun and shade: Duration and time of day and year that the sun shines directly on the site
Views: Unsightly views to screen; pleasant views to enhance or preserve
Wind: Speed and direction at different times of year
