At the time my husband, Hugh, and I planted our first vegetable gardens in northern Arizona, we intentionally designed both of them to be in full sun � I had assumed living in a cold climate meant all vegetables needed at least six hours of direct sunshine each day. We placed five semi-dwarf fruit trees several feet away from two sides of the half-sunken raised bed we fashioned in our back side-yard -- I had further assumed semi-dwarf fruit trees wouldn’t grow as tall as the apex of our roof, but they did!
We built our second half-sunken raised bed veggie garden in the middle of the backyard and planted an 18-inch-tall Ponderosa pine 10 feet away. Each year we incorporate well-composted organic matter and more top-soil into each plot.
