amount of work, says John A. Wott. Purdue University extension home environment horticulturist. To do this it is wise to check the fertility of the soil you will be using. This can be done by having a soil sample analyzed. If you are unfamiliar with the procedure, ask your county Extension agent for information on how to take a soil sample. Use your garden space properly. Plan on paper the minimum space needed, then plant as close as possible without sacrificing vegetable quality. Some vegetables can be planted in succession, that is every 2-3 weeks. Learn what these vegetables are and plant them so. This will spread your period of harvest. You can also interplant. For example, plant radishes and onions together. The radishes will mature in 2-4 weeks and can be used early. This then allows room for the onions to develop. Certain quick maturing vegetables such as peas and lettuce can be followed with later crops of tomatoes and beans. The same areas can then be replanted in the fall for additional crops of lettuce, beets, etc. You can also gain space by growing some plants in an upright position. For example, you can stake tomatoes, trellis cucumbers, and pole beans. For small areas, select compact growing varieties such as bushtype squash instead of vine types. Melons, cantaloupes and sweet corn require large growing areas. And last, choose dependable, high-yielding varieties that are disease resistant and known to produce well in your locality.
