Aim for a structured layout with raised beds and paths, divided into four sections for roots, legumes, salad/herbs, and mixed crops like courgettes and greens.
Use arches and pergolas for vertical gardening, maximizing space for beans and pumpkins, and adding planters and shelves against walls for more growing space.
Grow vegetables in containers like raised beds and giant planters, ideal for small spaces and allowing mobility to fill gaps in your garden layout.
Opt for visually appealing crops like Swiss chard, beetroot, strawberries, and tomatoes that thrive alongside flowers or in containers as standalone features.
Cultivate 'cut and come again' salad leaves year-round, including varieties like mizuna, mustard greens, and sorrel for continuous harvesting.
Plant low-maintenance herbs like rosemary, thyme, and mint, perfect for adding fragrance and culinary flair in compact garden spaces.
Grow glossy tomatoes like 'Costoluto Fiorentino' or compact varieties such as 'Tumbling Tom Red' for a Mediterranean touch, requiring regular care and attention.
Cultivate sun-warmed strawberries in raised beds, ensuring rich compost and protection from rain, and propagate runners for future plants.
