'1, Traditionally, the vegetable garden has been located in an area separate from other parts of the landscape. This was because it was considered a working area and an feyesore. \ With proper planning, however, the garden can be both functional and attractive. Many landscape designers today incorporate edible plants in other areas of the home landscape and ornamental plants such as flowering annuals in the vegetable garden.
Sunlight
A garden has five basic requirements. The first is sunlight. All vegetables need some sunlight. The garden should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Eight to 10 hours each day is ideal. Therefore, vegetables should be planted away from building^, trees, and shrubs which shade the area.
In addition, the roots of the trees and shrubs will use nutrients and water necessary for good growth. Some leafy vegetables such as broccoli, collards, spinach, and lettuce will tolerate shadier conditions than other vegetables, but, for the most part, if you do not have at least six hours of sunlight daily, forget about growing vegetables. 3 The second consideration is nearness to the house. The out-ot-sightout-of-mind principle applies to the garden. The closer the vegetable garden and the easier it is to reach, the more you will use it. It is more likely that you will harvest vegetables at their peaks and be able to take maximum advantage of garden freshness.
