Growing Vegetables, Fruit, and Herbs in Your Garden
Rooftop kitchen garden. It is possible to grow quite a variety of herbs, vegetables and fruit in a small space!
About 25sf of planters and pots supply produce from apple and cherry trees, raspberry and blueberry bushes, strawberry plants, a grape vine, as well as greens, tomatoes, peppers and a dozen different herbs.

Growing your own berries is not difficult at all. Ask the nursery about purchasing a male and a female plant, and for netting to place over the plants so that the birds don't take the berries before you!
Grow your berries in a sunny spot
Grapes don't have to overwhelm your garden; a lattice fence or even a parapet railing can support them in a sunny spot adequately sheltered from the wind.
