Right Plant Right Place
(RPRP)
The right plant right place rule or
RPRP. When you place a plant where the conditions give it what it needs (water,
soil, light) that plant will do well and reward you with fruit and flowers
throughout the season.
For RPRP to work
you need to know three things:
One: what are the
conditions where you are planning to garden, for example how much sunlight
and/or shade?
Two: Be sure the
plant gets the water it needs. If you are in a dry area, use plants that can
tolerate the dry conditions, if the site is wet, use plants that like it wet.
Three: will the
plant grow in your garden’s hardiness zone.
Hardiness Zone:
Plant hardiness zones—also known
as planting
zones or growing
zones—help gardeners understand which plants can
survive their region’s climate. Find out which planting zone you’re
located in and grow a great garden, one that thrives. There are a number
of online sites that will enable you to find out which hardiness zone you
occupy. One of my favourites is the Old Farmer’s Almanac
