For my class, i have to construct the animal aspect of a medieval garden. What kinds of animals would they allow to roam in the garden. Any sources would be helpful also because I kinda need help in jump starting this project.

We’re in the process of putting a chain link fence up in the backyard and we want some shrubs to cover part of it. We purchased 4 PJM Rhododendrons and 3 White light Azaleas. I’m not sure if these should be placed in groupings of the same shrub or alternating every other shrub. I’m not sure what is usually done to look the best. Also, I’m planning on putting a flower garden in. Should these shrubs be used as the back of the garden or should they be standing alone and the garden seperate. I’m obviously confused on what to do. Any suggestions would be great!!!!

We just planted our first garden. It is small (30 x10) and raised 1 foot above the surrounding ground. We have planted a couple tomato plants, two strawberry plants, carrots, lettuce, beans, and two pepper plants. How often should we water the garden and should I fertilize it again? (I put down Miracle Gro when planted 2 weeks ago). Thank you for your answers.
