A vegetable patch in a small garden.
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. Have a look at my companion planting page for some ideas.
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. Hay bales make great planters - see my hay bale gardening page for tips.
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.
Visitors will come and be in awe of your ingenuity and you will love your fresh garden produce. Remeber, there is no right or wrong way. As long as the plants receive sun, air and water they should grow healthy and strong no matter where you plant them or what you plant them in.
Make the most of the tips on the pages I have highlighted and begin to utilise the limited space you have in your small garden. You might end up with kitchen herbs growing next to your Hollyhocks but there's one thing for sure you will lbe getting the most from your small garden. Growing your own vegetables gardening tips can be found on this page growing your own
Growing Vegetables in containers is a great way to get the most out of limited space in a small garden.
