Growing food in a small space

You don't need a huge property to start growing your own food. With good planning, containers, grow bags, raised beds, and vertical growing methods can make a small garden surprisingly productive.

Vegetables to consider

• Tomatoes
• Eggplant
• Chili peppers
• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Radishes
• Carrots
• Green beans
• Cucumbers
• Onions

Start small

Choose a few vegetables that suit your climate and available space. Learn how they grow, monitor water and sunlight, and gradually expand your garden as you gain experience.

Final thoughts

A small garden can be the beginning of a much more self-sufficient lifestyle. Start with a few easy crops and build your skills over time.
