Tips to Keep in MindFirst, consider a few tips that will help you decide where your vegetables should be planted. If you will be gardening in containers on the porch or patio, you may want to plant herbs in one container, lettuce and radishes in another, onions with a parsley plant, and a cherry tomato (or regular tomato if you prefer) in its own container. Square Foot Gardens are a Perfect Small Garden!
To build a 4' x 4' square foot garden, simply build a frame using 2 by 6 boards. Save Space by Vertical GardeningAnother important thing that you need to think about when you are planning how to lay out your garden, is providing space for some vining plants to grow up as well as out. There are several vegetables that do quite well if you let them climb a trellis or an arbor, and providing for this vertical growth can help you save space for the other smaller growing vegetables. Organic Vegetable Gardening
If you wish to grow organic vegetables, it will be helpful you have compost area on your property. (Or you can purchase compost at your local gardening store.)
Other Space-Saving IdeasEven when you are working with a very small garden, you can be creative with your vegetable garden layout. For instance, did you know that you can plant lettuce and tomatoes virtually on top of each other? As the lettuce grows very quickly, you can harvest some of it, while the still growing tomato plant will provide some shade for the remaining lettuce and stop it from going to seed so quickly. This is a great way to conserve space, and works well in all types of gardens including in-ground, raised bed, potted, vertical, or container vegetable gardens. Use Winter Months to Plan!Planning the layout of your garden can be a fun thing to think about in the winter months.
