Do you like the idea of having an orchard right outside your window but have zero ideas of where you should start? While vegetables last a season or two in the garden, most fruits, shrubs, and trees live for 10 to 50 years or more. With a little planning and guidance, you will soon be biting into mellow fruits. Many urban gardeners avoid growing fruits because they think it’s too much work and impossible to hack, but this guide will show you a way around it.
