The key is to understanding what the annuals and perennials are, and then planting the ones that match your available sunlight and water requirements. You can use hedges to define property lines and add create beauty to your landscaping project.
The most successful garden type is a bed rather than planting in rows. The best way to keep deer and other animals away is to use plants with a bad taste or texture like poisonous or thorny plants. Although the kitchen is not the only location for an herb garden, especially if you live in a high rise or an apartment where you have no windows or very small ones in your kitchen area, look around your home for an area where there is sunlight and warmth.
It is a good idea to work your soil in the fall. Adding chemical fertilizers and additives will in the long-run damage the ability of the soil to produce what the plants need to fight against insect attacks, disease, and stress. Instead of beans, grow cucumbers, morning glories, love-in-a-puff, mini pumpkins, or gourds.
Consistent habits and traits are needed to make good soil, are also needed to build fertility in our daily lives. Give a plant what it needs to grow, in terms of sun and shade. A house, a row of trees, a fence can all affect microclimates.
Make sure you read the packages for any flowers. Remember that some plants or bushes will take longer to develop, so you can fill in with other nectar bearing plants.
