| Hi Gardenweb!
OK, so I am a newbie and I wanted to plant some things now that I own a small house on a small lot. I live in Southeast Iowa, and the USDA says I live in Zone 5a. I was wanting to plant, since i like them: 1) a single dwarf peach tree (as shown by PT in diagram)
Here is a map of my property:
Here is the cement block bounded thing where I wanted to plant the strawberries. I figured it would be a good use of the space. But because it is east-facing I am afraid it will not get enough sun.
Thanks for your comments!!!! |

| Follow this link and plug in your address. Then zoom in to see the sun's path on your property. Be sure to go to "Mode" and select, Path+Rays. Drag the marker to your planting spot. You should plant fruit trees on a southern facing side of your property to get the most sun. -Eric |
