Do I have the right growing conditions?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the plants you have in your garden are suitable for the growing conditions on your property. Will the plants have to battle sun, part shade, or full shade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>2. Do I have a good spot for the garden?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the location you have in mind large enough to grow what you want? Once you get started, you\u2019ll be able to adjust the size of the garden by adding or eliminating certain plants \u2014 plant size can really affect the size of the rest of the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3. <strong>Do I have to amend my soil?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants thrive in well-drained, moist soil.
