[net.garden] Our First Home!

nscmp (05/12/83)

My husband and I (newlywed's) moved into our newly built home 
in April.  As of now we have no yard (grading to be done
in 1 1/2 weeks and landscaping to follow - sodded front
and seeded back with one pretty tall maple tree).  As you
may have guessed, this will be our first attempt at landscaping
and gardening so we welcome and tips, help, ideas, etc.
anyone can give us.

We are going to have an herb garden, vegetable garden and
have planned additional landscaping which we will do 
ourselves.  (The builder okay'd planting trees, shrubs,
garden, etc. before they grade again).

We feel that our garden should be fertilized but what kind
and is it to be put on before or after we rototill?

Thanks in advance for any advice!!
