| I have just moved into a new home which has a garden plot boxed off which measures 70" x 220" in direct sunlight for most of the day. I have never gardened before as I have always been an apartment dweller and would like suggestions for what to vegetables to plant and what time of year I can plant them. |
| If there is literally no space between garden plots, then outline yours with a frame of planks set on the ground, or a band of mulch (newspaper covered with straw) to define boundaries clearly. Since you're starting your garden mid-season, stick with veggies that mature in short timeframes such as lettuce, radish, spinach, etc. (Avoid long-season crops like corn and squash.) Hope the above gets you started on a wonderfully rewarding new hobby!
