What to grow in small spaces...........

It is remarkable just how many vegetables can be grown in a small area or raised planters.  


For example, the following are all suitable for small spaces:

Lettuce/salad leaves
Beetroot
Purple broccoli
Early potatoes
Shallots
Garlic
Courgettes
Kale
Spinach
Carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Runner/broad beans beans

Top tips………….

If space is limited, choose crops which you like to eat. 
Avoid growing crops that take up a large amount of space or take a long time to grow. 
Choose leafy vegetables that you can harvest a few leaves off and they will keep growing (known as cut and come again veg) For example; celery, spring onion, rocket, coriander, chard and parsley.
