A SUGGESTED 50’ x 50’ GARDEN 
Planned for a balanced diet for a family of 
four. 
Observe how the tall crops are laid so they 
will not shade the low growers. At the 
bottom you will find suggestions that are 
resistant to late freezes and yet provide 
early harvest for the types of vegetables 
planted. A small bed of herbs is suggested 
also. 
The sweet corn is in a square plot instead 
of a lengthy single row: this gives much 
better pollinization—an important factor in 
getting maximum yields 
For the sake of space conservation the small 
garden below has no sweet corn, It does 
offer a good variety of food choices how- 
ever. If a fence were available on two sides 
of this garden we would suggest planting 
the tomatoes so they could be tied up. This 
would permit more space for the planting 
of turnips, or parsnips and other items miss- 
ing in the plan.

Beat Inflation—Plant a Garden 
Planning your garden is a highly individ- 
ualistic matter. Family preferences in food 
choices vary widely, for that reason the 
length of rows and choices of varieties are 
different in every garden, The shape of the 
plot varies too, rarely do conditions permit 
a perfectly square garden. 
The diagrams at the left are offered as @ 
sound starting point in making up a plan. If 
a fence adjoins your site, climbing vine 
crops and tomatoes can be tied to the fence, 
saving both space and extra work, 
Plan for inter-cropping and succession crop- 
ping too, so your soil will be working full 
time, and give maximum production, Fol- 
lowing are some additional ideas:
