edible gardens 101
a dual-duty design in city spaces:
edibles improve health and habitat and grow in challenging places.
here's why:
growing your favorites varieties
saves money
growing market varieties with higher values can create income
you improve the quality of your food by growing without chemicals
offers an opportunity to meet with neighbors.
offers goods to trade with other gardeners for better diversity
growing edibles is a step in the direction of independent living.
best varieties?
With a few simple elements, most in Albuquerque can garden year 'round. The best varieties to grow, depends in part on the time of year. Even moreso, selecting varieties should be based on your tastes!
start by season
Below is a basic list of veggies that grow in warm temperatures (warm season vegetables) and cool weather (cold season). It is possible to be very technical about growing vegetables, but not necessary.
Because the success of the vegetable plants depends on temperatures, weather-watching and observing your plants will reveal those connections between climactic conditions and success of the plants over time.
Consider
raised beds
