Small on space doesn’t have to mean sparse on fresh, tasty vegetables and herbs. With some inventive gardening, even a skimpy site can yield an abundant harvest. Start by planting herbs and vegetables in containers. Grow salad greens in window boxes. Or, save soil space by growing sprawling varieties on teepees and trellises. Finding space for your favorite veggies is easy. Click through for a few helpful suggestions!

Compost-enriched soil in sunny, raised beds sustains a garden-fest of vegetables. Here, ‘Precoville Petit Pois’ pea’s diminutive vines hobnob with ‘Rouge d’Étampes Cinderella’ pumpkin’s sprawling heirloom stems and ‘Diablo’ Brussels sprout’s 2-foot-tall, sprout-filled stalks. ‘Bintje’ Dutch potato buries its golden spuds in the garden’s rich loam. Quick-growing ‘De Milan Rouge’ turnip and ‘Green Zebra’ tomatoes number among the garden’s other selections.
Willow fencing frames a salad mix consisting of red-blushed ‘Indigo’ radicchio, petite ‘Très Fine Maraîchère Frisée’ endive, ‘Cardinale’ loose-leaf lettuce and ‘Merveille des Quatre Saisons,’ an easy-to-grow butterhead lettuce variety. ‘Precoville Petit Pois’ pea’s delicate vines spill from the raised bed. In small sites, plant lettuce, parsley, radish or other frilly, low-growing salad fixings in a pot or alongside a sidewalk.
‘Ronde de Nice,’ a French heirloom zucchini squash, yields round fruits on bush-type plants. Harvest the bright green balls as babies or pick them for slicing or stuffing at their 4-inch-diameter maturity. The large yellow blooms attract bees and butterflies. Conserve space in small gardens by selecting bush-type squash instead of trailing varieties.
