How Much Can You Grow?

What can be planted in a such a small area, you ask? Remember, each 4 x 4 square foot garden is divided into 16 growing areas.  Here is an example of what can be grown in one, 4×4 square foot garden:

• 1 head of cabbage
• 1 head of broccoli
• 1 head of cauliflower
• 4 heads of romaine lettuce
• 4 heads of red lettuce
• 4 heads of butter crunch lettuce
• 9 sugar snap peas
• 9 bunches of Swiss chard
• 9 bunches of spinach
• 32 carrots (using 2 squares)
• 32 radishes (using 2 squares)
• 18 beets (using 2 squares)
• 16 onions

And that is just the spring harvest! In late spring/early summer, you could replace each of these crops and grow even more in the same garden!
