Don't have a large backyard space for vegetable gardening? Perhaps you can still grow veggies, but in several smaller plots scattered around the section. Here I describe the various shapes and sizes they range across in my garden. You may lose a bit on the efficiency side of things, but gain on adaptability.
What a great read Robert. Gardening in an urban setting has many challenges but as you have described sometime this can lead to an inventive way of using your space. I also have "little gardens" dotted around my section so that I can use as much ground as possible for growing. I suppose they are micro-microclimates?
Thanks John for that terrific comment. Glad I am not the only one growing in small spaces around the section! And yes micro-micro-climates is exactly it. Fascinating how even in a suburban section conditions can vary so much from one part to another and between seasons.
I enjoyed the read and you are right it does have it's merits when it comes to diversity and learning about the different conditions suitable for different plants!
