Other thing I love to grow are greens such as lettuce & spinach. Both are staples to most fresh garden salads and take a relatively small space to grow. Romaine types tend to take even less space than say, green or red leaf types, which tend to spread out a bit more. The romaine is also crisper than most other types, which I like.

Many people think you have to harvest the entire head of lettuce, but individual leaves can be clipped off as needed while the plant continues to produce. Slow-bolting types can be harvested in this manner longer.

Potatoes are cheap to buy and good from Farmers’ Markets, why waste space on them which you could use for other more unusual crops you can’t easily buy like Tuscan Kale,Jerusalem Arthichokes,Elephant Garlic, rare tomato breeds etc.Same for onions.
