Where do you live? What state.

In my previous home we had a 15 by 15, and in that I manage a half dozen
tomato plants, four green pepper plants, two rows of green beans (closely
spaced), a row of radishes, row of onions, and on the out side row I pounded
in a couple of T-Stakes, strung up a piece of plastic construction mesh
(orange) and trained about three cucumber plants to grow up it. Our stuff
was a little bit cramped in there but it worked out fine. We made a lot of
salsa.

6 tomato plants will produce a LOT of tomatos. We ended up freezing a
bunch, drying a bunch, and EATING a bunch. We had two Early Girls, two Big
Boys, and two Celebrities. My wife also planted a couple cherry tomato
plants in a flower pot, that worked great.

I live in central Indiana...it doesn't pay to grow sweet corn in the
backyard because every farmer around here has it growing anyway, and I can
buy it for $3 a dozen ears just about anytime I want it. We bought two
pickup truck loads of late sweet corn last summer for $20 - blanched it,
buttered it, cut it off the cob and froze it. We're still eating sweet
corn.

We have decided on a 14 by 14 plot for the garden (it is about all we
could fit). Since this is not very large ar there plants that can be
coplanted? for example what could I interplant with my tomatos. The
kids are thinking corn carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, lettuce. any
other suggestions that real taste good out of the graden?- Hide quoted text -

I live in a western burb of Chicago. That was more than I thought I
could plant in that area. Congrats on your colts beating my bears :
( The kids really want to try some corn, I was going to try to
get 6-8 ears. The tomatos are for me. How did you get into the
middle of the plot with out stompng on the other plants? was the walk
ways dirt or stepping stone? Thanks for the response.
