Berries

• Strawberries – Sweet, easy to grow and perfect for small spaces.
• Blackberries – Hardy and fruitful, ideal for hedges or trellises.

Melons

I didn't think I could grow Melons in zone 6. Every Christmas we buy fresh fruit for the holidays and in the spring Mother's Nature showed me how to grow my own fruit in the compost bin. That was a pleasant surprise and a learning experience.

• Melons – Summer’s favourite, needs warm soil and plenty of space.
• Watermelons - so sweet - freezes well
• Cantaloupe – Fragrant, sweet, and perfect for home gardens.
