Ginkgo biloba, also called maidenhair(family: Ginkgoaceae Genus) isa broadleaf,deciduous tree. While it loses its leaves in winter, it is classified as a conifer and is dioecious,meaning that some trees are male while others are female. The gingko biloba’s uniquely fan-shapedleaves start out green but change to golden-yellow in the fall. Before the whole leaf turns golden,there is sometimes a stage during which the leaf is two-toned, with separate bands of gold andgreen. The bark on older specimens of the tree becomes deeply furrowed.

The leaves are alternate, hairy, and 2-6 cm wide with toothed margins. Its Flower colors are pink, yellow, greenish-white. Gooseberries are self-fruitful, so they will not require a pollinator plant.

Goumiberries are from the genus Elaeagnus, a group of plants that take nitrogen from the air andfix it into the soil. This perennial of the Elaeagnaceae family is not to be confused with gojiberries though both have many health benefits. Each year in late spring, goumi is covered withdelicate, white-yellow,
Gourds come in dozens of species, each with its own unique shape, color, and size.Gourds come in three general types: ornamental gourds (cucurbita), utilitarian gourds (lagenaria), andvegetable sponge gourds (luffa). Also consider including a few different kinds of edible gourds. Ornamental gourds are brightly colored and oddly shaped, typically used as decoration.The haveorange and yellow flowers. Utilitarian gourds are green while growing, and then dry a brown shade.These gourds are most often used for tools and utensils because of their tough shell.

Vitis rotundifolia, the Muscadine, is in the same genus Vitis with the other grapevinespecies and yet belongs to a separate subgenus, Muscadina (all other grapevine species belong tosubgenus Euvitis). Muscadine grapes have two color types, black or bronze. Black varieties includethose that have pink, red and deep purple colors. Bronze varieties grow with shades of yellow,green and tan. Muscadines are dioecious (require male and female plants to produce) and havesmooth bark, un-forked tendrils, and fruit born in small clusters of large berries that ripen individuallyand fall away or shed when mature. Muscadine grapes contain 5 oval to oblong seeds.
The annual Ground Cherry plant from the Family of Solanaceae grows easily inthe garden with minimal pest and disease problems.

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.
