Edible Landscaping With Fruits for Beginners and Dummies Complete Dummies Guide on Growing Fruits and Berries to Turn Your Garden to a Fruit Farm

Fruit has traditionally been in gardens or orchards separate from the yard, but this does not have to be the case. Many perennial fruits do well in the landscape and can fit in as ornamental plants. As you prune, mulch, fertilize, and maintain your landscape, why not use edibles to give you a return on your investment in the form of sweet fruit and a sense of self-reliance, Imagine full boughs of pink cherry blossoms in the spring, hedgerows of sweet blueberries in mid-August with leaves that turn a brilliant red in autumn or the purple-red vines of the thornless blackberry in winter that add color to your landscape. By determining what you want your edible landscape to look like, taking time to choose varieties that match your goals and site conditions, and deciding on a basic maintenance strategy, you can turn your landscape into something both productive and beautiful.
