How to use this number
- Treat the estimate as a planning number, not a guarantee. Variety size and climate matter.
- Use trellises for cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, and beans to make small beds work harder.
- Leave extra room for airflow around tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, and other large plants.
- For quick crops like radishes, arugula, scallions, and lettuce, sow smaller batches every couple of weeks.
