Grow your own patio garden! Spring is here and it's time to get your garden ready for a successful season of bountiful harvests! Planting fruiting plants is a great way to enjoy delicious and fresh homegrown fruits while watching your plants grow. Fruiting plants are easy to plant, survive well in most climates, and provide fruits year after year.

When planting fruiting plants here are a few tips for bountiful harvests:

• Begin with healthy soil - add plenty of compost or aged manure mix before planting.
• Grow in well-draining soil.
• If your soil is deficient in nutrients, then adding fertilizer to balance it out may be necessary.
• Position the fruiting plants in an area of the garden that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
• Pruning at the end of/or beginning of the growing season helps maintain the plant’s shape, encourages plentiful crops, and keeps plant diseases away.
• Space plants for best air circulation around them.
• Ensure the surrounding soil is watered during hot days.

Now is the perfect time to get outside and start planting fruiting plants! Selecting the right plants for your area, with proper maintenance, and a suitable location, you can expect to reap a bountiful harvest this season.

Enjoy your home-grown fruits - knowing you did the work to make it happen!
