Maximizing returns.
In order to maximize returns, regardless of whether you are growing a harvest to cultivate, or plants to spruce up the appearance of the garden area, you need to properly care for your garden. To see max returns you must grow high yielding varieties, water, and sow efficiently, and work in succession in the garden routinely, in order to see your efforts pan out.
Go with perennials.
In addition to adding a bright pop of green to any space, perennials are easy to grow and require very little work in any garden. Fill spaces with these crops, and choose items such as rhubarbs, plant based veggies, and varieties which require little to no water in order to blossom and grow.

There are a number of vegetable based plants you can plant once, which will cultivate and grow for years to come. Asparagus is one such variety. Choose this, and other simple varieties which are simple to grow, require little space, and will maximize your garden annually, with little to no effort.
