The Oreganum genus includes a large number of perennial herbs and shrubs native to western Asia and the Mediterranean. The most common species are familiar culinary herbs, including O. vulgare and its cultivars, O. majoranum, O. heracleoticum, and others. Oregano is a signature flavor of many Italian, Mexican, and Spanish dishes. It is a hardy perennial plant that is easy to grow in the home garden or in pots. Oregano leaves are oval, dark green, and positioned in opposite pairs along the stems. Some varieties have fuzzy leaves, others not. Oregano starts as a ground-hugging rosette of leaves, but

A small, deciduous tree that yields the largest fruit native to North America. It’s part of the Annonaceae family, which is the largest family of the magnolia order. Pawpaw trees can grow to a height of about 25 feet and feature maroon-colored blossoms with 6 petals in spring. (When grown in shady and protected areas of established forests, they only get to be 2 to 12 feet (0.6 m to 3.7 m) tall.) The leaves are dark green, shiny, and oval shaped with pointy ends. They can grow up to 1 inches in length. In the fall, foliage turns
The self-fertile deciduous tree belongs to the Rosaceae family and the Prunus genus. It can grow up to 25 feet (7.6 m) tall. ripening May through August.

A tree of the genus Pyrus, in the family Rosaceae which bears the pears as fruits having a sweet gritty-textured juicy fruit. The trees usually live 50 years, although they might have shorter or longer life spans depending on how well cared for they are. It’s one of the most important fruit trees in the world, the common pear is cultivated in all temperate-zone countries of both hemispheres.
Cultivated annual plants having compound leaves with terminal leaflets modified into tendrils and edible seeds enclosed in an elongated pod. Commonly grown peas include English peas, snow or sugar peas, and sugar snap peas available in both bush and climbing varieties. There are also black-eyed, crowder (field), and chick peas (garbanzo). Legumes (lentils) are also of the pea family.

The US Department of Agriculture created the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to provide a standard definition of climatic conditions relevant to plant growth and survival. It is used by the agriculture industry to define what plants grow best in what areas. By understanding what zone you’re located in, you can find out which plants will grow best in your area and which won’t.
Dirt is not the same as soil. Simply put, dirt is soil without any life. It is sterile. Dirt is ‘dead’. It contains no biology or non in a living state. Dirt is a mixture of minerals, sand, silt and clay. Sand particles are the largest. Silt are smaller yet and clay is even smaller. Sand will allow water to easily pass through it. Silt will allow water to pass through, but slower than sand. Clay, depending on the layering and the quantity, will block water. It is why clay pots are used to store water
The following process is called an instant garden and it was made popular by Bill Mollison, the person who coined the phrase Permaculture. In short, forests have the largest productions of any growing systems in the world. They also have the widest diversity of life, both above and below the surface of the soil.
