The large, somewhat triangular leaf blades are elevated on long, fleshy petioles. The flowers are small, greenish-white, and borne in large compound leafy inflorescences.

Planning Your Organic Garden

Mon, 08/20/2007 - 09:31 — Arden

Once you have decided to create a garden, the first thing on your mental checklist, should be 'location, location, location.' The garden should be designed for the climate, space available, and the crop you want to grow.
 
Decide where and how much you are going to plant.
 
The location of your garden affects the amount of light and/or shade your plants receive.Certain plant species require a certain amount of sunlight to grow well. If there are specific plants you plan to have in your garden, research their light requirements before picking the garden location.
 
When you own your own home with land, space might not be much of a concern. Those without readily available land, might have to join a gardening collective (preferably one that is using organic methods) and get a single bed or more of your own.

You are worried about the chemicals and pesticides used by commercial farmers to grow the food that we all need to eat in order to live. Organically grown food is the natural answer to this problem. But there can be a financial downside to buying purely organic food. Most people can't afford to buy it on a regular basis in the natural food store or supermarket that carries organic products. The store might also be too far away from your house for you to purchase organic food often. You can create your own organic garden, using all natural products for growing your plants.
