2 CROPS FOR ONE SPACE 
Unless you raise vegetables for quantity, 
storage or freezing, limit planting of any 
type to family’s probable use in fresh form. 
Set perennial crops (Asparagus, Rhubarb, 
Artichoke, etc.) at one side of garden. They 
are permanent. Next to perennials set 
crops that occupy the ground through grow- 
ing season (tomatoes, squash, pole beans, 
late potatoes, etc.). This leaves remaining 
space for serial planting and rotation of 
crops. Before the Tomatoes, Squashes, etc., 
are set out, their space may be given to 
radishes, lettuce and other quick-growing 
early spring crops (Peas, early Potatoes, 
etc.) are harvested, clear the area and re- 
place with later crops (Bush Beans, late 
Potatoes, late Cabbage). Save space by 
staking Tomatoes, Cucumbers, etc. Set aside 
a small space for sowing Lettuce and other 
seeds that can be transplanted to the main 
garden later. Shade-loving vegetables, such 
as Lettuce, can be planted on the shady side 
of tall-growing things. Sun-lovers should go 
upon the sunny side of tall plants. Heavy- 
fruited things, such as Squashes, can be al- 
low to sprawl on banks or run over fences— 
if support is placed under developing fruits. 
One or two plants of Zucchini or other types 
of Squash—or Pumpkin—are enough to meet 
average family needs. Tomatoes, Eggplant, 
etc., can, if desired, be grown staked in 
pots or tubs and shifted as desired during 
the season. Pole Beans are a space saver 
and fit well into the ‘vertical garden” plan.
