Seven Hundred Dollars Worth of Vegetables From 100 Square Foot Garden

Here's an interesting article about a family that got nearly seven hundred dollars worth of organic vegetables from a small garden in their yard. The author happened to use a five foot by 20 foot section but of course you’re welcome to figure out your own layout. My best advice to new gardeners – don't grow food you don't like. I've read quite a few blog posts from people recently who grew something like Kale or tomatoes because those are supposed to be easy or cheap and then the owners didn't want to eat the produce. If you're gardening to enhance the family menu then make sure you start off with things they love to eat.
