• List the garden plants and vegetable seeds that you want to grow in your garden, and learn all about them. Investigate their needs using books from your local library or using the internet, and compare these to your growing conditions. Then set yourself some realistic goals.
• Pick a sunny site in your garden with easy access to water for your specialty vegetable garden. Ensure that the soil can be altered to drain well, or if not build a raised bed to assist drainage conditions.
• Measure the space available and draw your garden planning on graph paper.
• Estimate the number of garden plants you can fit in your garden, based on their mature size. Then design your garden to allow for the longest harvest possible – plan to plant some early flourishing varieties then mixed with later flourishing ones.
• Include selectively placed trellises into your garden to maximize space for snow peas, passion fruit and other climbing vegetables.
