My greenhouse sits by the Urubamba River near Machu Picchu in Peru. I chose this site for my topographical map because it’s near a good water source that has a healthy, rich soil. The native Peruvians, who used to live here, built terraces on the side of the mountain where they could irrigate and have plenty of sunshine. This would be a great location to grow strawberries and other tropical fruits in my greenhouse. For vegetables, I would grow corn and peppers. Regular rains in the area keeps the river flowing which is important for any crop.

Have a great weekend!
