First off, you MUST have direct sunlight all day long for vegetables to thrive. Therefore, use only the space that has no shade. And don't worry if it seems small! You'll grow twice the food in one fourth the space others are using, so just do it right in the space you have. And actually, starting small is a good idea anyway! It's easier, more fun, and won't wear you out!
Level ground, or something with a slight Southern slope is best, in order to catch the sun's strongest rays, and to avoid rapid water run-off that will wash out your soil, seeds, and seedlings.
Begin by clearing your ground of EVERYTHING! No weeds, rocks, or anything else is allowed. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" certainly applies here, and you surely want your garden to be a thing of beauty, as well as being productive!
Measure and stake the perimeter of your garden. This gives you an important starting point for figuring out how many soil-beds you can have, and then placing them properly. Let's use 25' X 35' as an example of what your garden area might be.
It doesn't really matter what direction your beds face, so far as sun exposure is concerned. What does matter, though, is that the beds be level, and that you plant taller plants to the North or East of shorter plants. This is to assure that taller plants don't shade shorter plants, and rob them of essential sunlight. So, align your beds to maximize those factors as much as possible.
I'll assume we are able to run the beds lengthwise along the 35' dimension. Your soil-beds should be 18" wide and any length you choose. When you become experienced in this method of growing, and want to specialize in growing certain crops all the time, you may want to begin using 4'-wide beds, but let's stick to the best family garden layout for now.
The ideal size for aisles is 3.5', and since we have 25' width in our example garden, this will give us 5 - 18" beds with 3 ' aisles. If you have only 23' you could get by with aisles a little narrower. But don't squeeze those aisles! You will be growing plants that need all of that space, and reducing the aisle space only leads to problems of not enough light and air for your growing plants!
We'll make our beds 30' long. This leaves us 2.5' on each end of the garden for walking, and 30' is a good length, because it makes caring for the garden easy. More about that later.
Using 18"-long stakes, stake your 5 - 18" X 30' beds, with 4 stakes per bed.
Apply 32 ounces of the Mittleider Pre-Plant Mix, and 16 ounces of Weekly Feed Mix to the soil under your strings. This amounts to about 1 ounce and half ounce per running foot of those VERY important natural mineral nutrients. Dig or till the soil of your soil-bed to a depth of at least 8".
Then, using nylon string, tie strings between the stakes, to outline your soil-beds.
Begin making raised, ridged beds by pulling about 2+ inches of dirt from the aisles into the 18"-wide bed area under your strings. Smooth and level that dirt, and then check the level of your bed area. It must be level to make watering easy and efficient, so don't ignore this step! Move dirt from the high spots in your bed to the low spots, until your bed is no more than one inch higher at the water-source end than the other end.
Make 4"-high ridges all around your bed by pulling soil from the center of the bed to just beneath the strings. When you're finished you should have a planting area that is about 12" wide and between 1 and 2" above the level of the aisles, with 4" ridges, the top of which are 18" apart. Re-check the level of your planting area, and move soil as necessary to keep the bed level from end to end.
Your Mittleider "Best of Organic" garden is now ready to plant!

Is It Time To Spruce Up Your Garden For Good
Has it been a little while since you marveled at your garden's hidden and not so hidden charms? When was the last time you had a special area where you could go; just to get your head together? The problem is that if you don't keep on top of your garden; it will change quickly and soon be a place you don't remember at all. If you have decided to turn back the clock and are willing to try your best to rediscover that special place; then have a little read of this column and you may just be able to work some magic!
Floral Treats!
Sometimes the simple approach is the best; you can plant some annuals and perennials around your porch and steps. If you have concrete or tarmac; you can buy some large tubs and fill them with a mix of bright bulbs. By combining the annuals and perennials you can ensure that your guests always receive the best welcome on your street.
Driveway Delights
If your driveway has seen better days, do not despair! By planting some carefully chosen flowers and plants; you can hide a lot of nasty little faults. Plant some low hedges on the edge of the driveway and mix some bright rose bushes at the end nearest to your house. You can even set a small raised lawn in the middle part of the drive, if it allows for some turf. And add various annuals in the center of the lawn.
Self-Reliant Flowers
It's always nice to have some flowers that don't require baby-sitting all of the time. You can choose from dozens, but a good choice for low maintenance and pretty flowers are always the Crinum family of lilies. They will also enhance the aroma of your garden in the summer.
Hide those Eyesores!
If your garden shed has seen better days or if you have a coal bunker that has more rust than charm; you don't have to tear them down. You can always accessorize with plants and flowers. With the shed; you can add some shelves to the exterior walls and fill some trays with flowers and ferns. Set these up on the shelves until the ugly eyesore has transformed into something quite special.
Get Creative!
Try and turn a small part of your garden into a private getaway for you and the family. It doesn't have to be a large or plush event; just somewhere where you can hide away for a few precious minutes every day. Erect some wooden structures like a pergola for instance. Add some vines and creeping plants to the structure to affect a hidden doorway. You can put some sparse garden furniture in the hidden area for when you need to kick back for that much needed cup of tea!
Your Own Vineyard
Just erect a few trellis structures in your garden and buy some young grape vines. Within a year or two they will be yielding grapes; then you can start making your own personal wine!

A Snippet Of History About The Rock Garden
Both rock and water were old established garden features way before anyone thought of having lawns, flower beds or borders. Thousands of years ago the first Japanese garden was nothing more than an expanse of white stone chippings with a single Cleyera tree at the centre and the Ancient Persian 'paradise' had a long canal and fountains at its heart.
The attraction was very easy to see, these two elements bring a natural feel to any kind of surroundings. Until quite recently however, they were the primarily for the wealthy. Before the latter part of the 19th century, rocks were used to create very bold structures in large estates and it was not until the middle of the 20th century that ponds and fountain construction became simple enough and economical enough for the ordinary gardener.
It has taken a long time, but both rock and water gardening have at last come of age. There is now enormous interest in all aspects of the water garden. Rock garden plants are grown in great numbers, the variety available these days in both rockeries and rock-free situations is immense. I find it interesting that both these natural elements have several features in common.
They can extend for a few square feet or more than a quarter of an acre, and both provide the opportunity to grow a vast range of plants not found in the ordinary, ever-day garden. The drawbacks that they share are that careful and preparation are required and an appreciable amount of labour and money is required for their creation.
By the latter part of 19th century the age of the large rock garden was all but over. In 1772 the second period of rock gardens began, a garden of rubble and Icelandic basaltic lava was created inside a greenhouse at Chelsea Physic Garden for the cultivation of plants collected from the Swiss Alps. Here the rocks were used as a home for plants rather to provide just an ornamental feature.
This second period got off to a slow start, although rock gardens were created at various sites in Britain and the idea of laying stones to give the appearance of a natural outcrop was developed. Things changed in the 1860's and the rock garden at last took its place as an important part of the British garden. Rockeries were built at Kew Gardens in 1867 and in Edinburgh in 1871.
In 1870 William Robinsons Alpine Flowers for English Gardens was published. During this period and into the early 20th century Pulhamite Stone was manufactured in Broxbourne in Hertfordshire and used to create public and private rock gardens throughout the country. The three decades from 1900 to 1939 were the heyday of the rock garden. Reginald Farrer was the leading figure and his 'My Rock Garden' book became the first bible on the subject.
Plant hunters scoured the mountains of the world looking for new alpine plants and the rock garden at Wisley was started in 1911. In the years prior to World War II interest in the rock garden declined, only recently has there been a resurgence.
During the 1920's and 1930's the idea of growing alpines in non-rock situations took root, this coupled with the appearance of the garden centre in the second half of the 20th century brought about the third period in this history. People began to see the full range of plants which were available along with all sorts of easy and inexpensive ways for cultivating alpines without having to build a rockery.
So, interest switched to the plants and away from the rock structures, and this is the key feature of this third period in the history of rock gardening.

Teak Patio Furniture For Your Terrace
You have spent hours of time and quite a lot of money on getting your back yard just right. The trees are lush and green, the flowers are blooming and every thing looks beautiful, and the only thing missing is some where to sit down and enjoy your beautiful yard.
There is nothing like the look of natural wood in your yard or on your patio. Many prefer the look of natural wood to aluminum or plastic, but there is nothing more beautiful than the natural look of teak patio furniture. Teak furniture will blend in to a natural surrounding beautifully and will look elegant and relaxing as well as being comfortable.
Many people believe that wood furniture can not hold up to the demands of outdoor weather. Some people believe that outdoor wooden furniture can only be utilized in environments where there is little rain or snow, but this could not be further than the truth. Wooden furniture is perfect for an outdoor environment, because it requires just a little bit of care and maintenance in order to stay looking beautiful.
Teak patio furniture is the perfect choice for outdoor furniture, because one set should last you a life time with the proper care and attention. Teak is known for being an extremely weather resistant type of wood. It can stand up to all types of weather conditions, including intensely rainy environments, snow and sleet, and extremely sunny and hot conditions.
Although teak is a weather resistant form of wood, it still requires a little bit of care and maintenance to prolong the life of the furniture and keep it looking beautiful. You have a few options when it comes to teak furniture. If you prefer a natural look for your teak patio furniture, then you can leave the wood untreated and the wood will fade to a lovely silver, gray color. The gray color blends in perfectly to a natural looking terrace or patio.
If you prefer a warm brown look to your patio furniture, then that is easily achieved by using a teak oil on the furniture. Teak oil is a very easy product to use, because you simply need to use a cloth to rub the oil into the wood grain. The oil absorbs into the wood and allows it to keep the natural brown color. In order to maintain this color, you should give the furniture a new coat of oil about once a year.
Teak is an extremely easy type of furniture to care for. If you want to keep your patio furniture maintenance to the bare minimum, then you should invest in some quality patio furniture covers. If you cover your furniture when you are not using it, then it will stay protected from the sun, rain, and snow.
Teak requires very little maintenance, and if you give your furnishings a regular wipe down with a clean, dry rag that will go a long way in keeping your furniture clean and protected. If you have chosen to use a teak oil, then you should give your furniture a rub down with the teak oil about once a year, or as needed. In the wintertime, if you are not going to be using your deck or your patio furniture, then it is a good idea to put it away, in a shed, or a garage.
