    That will really depend on the climate in your country. We are based out of the US, so your climate will be a little more unfamiliar to us. If you can include your low's, and high's along with rainfall amounts, and general weather patterns, then I can help you to find flowers that will bloom at different portions of the year.

    Ideally you will want to plant on the South side if possible. This will allow full sun all day. You can still go with your idea, and do just fine, but just keep in mind that crop production might be slightly less. I don't see much issue with this idea other than this.

    It won't matter where you are, as that is usually a concern for the type of soil of your area. If you are mixing your own soil, then that cuts out the need to worry about your native soil, so yes, this method will work quite well, regardless of where you reside.

    Now, as for watering... This is going to be something that you can't give an amount to. This will heavily depend on your area, the temperature and humidity, and many other factors.

    The best way to determine if you need to water or not is to stick your finger down into the soil. If there is no moisture down to about two inches, then it is time to water. If it is still the least bit wet, then watering will be a bad idea.

    This seems to be quite the task, given your hardiness zone! This article should get you started, though: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/gardening-by-zone/zone-1-2/zone-1-gardening.htm

    Most garden plants need at least 6 to 12 inches for their roots, so 12 inches is ideal.

    Allow adequate soil depth for the plants you want to grow. Many vegetable plants have root systems that go deeper than 12". I would discourage putting in the fabric at the 12" depth. It is unlikely that would do much for preventing week growth, and it may restrict root depth for plants that draw water and nutrients from the deeper soil profile. This article may help:
