No matter how small your garden, you can still create your own mini vegetable garden with a few tips from the experts.
Track the sun
Some crops like tomatoes and other fruiting crops need 6 to 8 hours of full sun a day, while others can thrive on 4 to 6 hours. If your garden can provide this, you’re in business. You can track the arc of the sun with the Sun Seeker app.
Use the vertical
If you have a fence or a trellis, or you can put one in, you can grow climbing veggies such as peas, beans, and cucumbers.

Build your garden
- Add compost and a few cups of fertilizer to beds.
- Loosen and turn over soil, and rake smooth. Take out any large pieces of clay.
- If you have an irrigation system, check it before you start planting.
- Sow seeds at the recommended spacing on the packet. Mark with tags for identification.
- Once seedlings develop, mulch around them to prevent weed growth and retain moisture. A 1-inch top dressing will be adequate.
- Keep your garden weed-free, and water as necessary.
- Investigate companion planting to avoid the use of pesticides.
