A CORNER OF YOUR BACKYARD WILL MAKE YOU 
A FINE GARDEN 
You don’t need much space to make a good growing gar- 
den which will keep you in fresh vegetables all season long. 
15x25 feet is an ideal size, of course. This gives you 375 
square feet in which to plant and have fun but a much smaller 
space is satisfactory too, especially if it’s cornered with a 
fence. Tomatoes, Beans, Cucumbers and other vegetables 
can be planted right up against the fence itself, giving 
you the open spaces for short-growing root varieties.
