Patio Vegetable Garden

This is a sample of what you can grow if you don't have a lot of room or if you just don't want a big garden. Here is a list of vegetables that you can grow in a small patio garden.
Artichoke, Globe, Asparagus, Beans, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Chicory, Eggplant, Garlic, Horseradish, Kale, Kohlrabi, Leeks, Lettuce, Okra, Onions, Parsnips, Peas, Peppers, Potatoes, Radish, Rutabaga, Shallots, Spinach, Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Swiss Chard, Tomatoes, and Turnips. Is this all you can grow in a small patio garden? No.
But this should get you started. Just keep in mind the size of the plants once they mature. For example you can put corn in your patio garden but some corn can get to be 12 feet tall while some of the high breads
only get between 3 to 4 feet tall. If you want to put in vine plants like your melons or squash you will need to trellis them so they will grow vertical, but keep in mind the size of the fruit at harvest some may be just be to large to be supported.
You can also add in some flowers with your vegetables for a nice change.
untill next time.


Happy planting – growing
