Growing A Small Vegetable Patch

Even with very little space you can grow and enjoy fresh garden vegetables. Nothing beats a freshly picked tomato or freshly dug new potato. The small garden layout tips will help with basic design and the links lead to other pages on my website

Cottage gardeners have always grown their own fruit and veg wherever they could find the space to place a plant. Runner beans climbing up stone walls and cucumbers in the flower borders. We now call it companion planting, the olden gardeners called it making use of every available bit of garden space. Companion planting reduces space for weeds to grow and reduces the effects of garden pests.

Almost any container can be used to grow fruit and vegetables in. These include but are not limited to – window boxes and raised garden beds made from almost anything that will hold garden soil such as hay bales.

If you have a small garden with limited space for planting vegetables but you want to grow your own vegetables, be creative and you will find more space than you ever thought you could find.
