Hi, Everybody,

My vegetable garden is small, so I want to maximise the
nutrition per square metre of space.

I have about eighty buckets (10-litre/2.5 gal each.)
This area lets me do a "summer mode" with tomatoes,
capsicums, etc, and then a "winter mode" with leafy
greens like spinach, lettuce, etc.

For these two situations, what are good choices for
nutritional efficiency?

It is winter (in this part of the world) right now.

Thanks...


What foods do you like to eat? Which ones grow in your climate and
soil? Can you preserve the crops? You can check the nutritional
value of foods here. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_s.pl

Then plan nutritious meals with a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Think different colors. Plant a small quantity of something new to
see if you like it and whether it grows well.
