What are the best choices for a home garden?
What is best to plant in a home garden? Keep in mind it is not huge and we would like to plant things that will take up the least amount of space but yield a nice harvest. So I guess I could ask, what plants give you the most bang for you buck?
What are your thoughts?
Lettuces and spinach take little space and are easy to grow during the spring and fall.
Carrots and radishes can be planted pretty densely and radishes only take a month from seed to harvest so several crops can be planted in a season. I would often eat them right out the garden.
A couple of tomatoes are a must. They are more vertical space. At least a cherry (for eating in the garden) and a beefsteak for slicing. Buy or make big sturdy cages
Sugar snap peas are a favorite. Build a trellis for them to climb and they take little space.
Same goes for vine cucumbers.
Peppers and eggplants are pretty compact but I gave up on them after the flea beetles arrived.
Zucchini and yellow squash are big plants but you can get a big yield from one mound of plants.
Hope that helps.
