100 sq ft garden | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

I have been looking for ways to covert our lifestyle to homesteading sans a homestead and was trying to find a way to get a small garden going. The problem is that our small back door patio is concrete and covered by a large shade tree.

I recently became aware of a local community garden in a prime growing area. The plots are $75 a year for 100 sq ft. Thankfully, I have also been invited by an acquaintance who is a master gardener to come out to his garden on Saturdays for a year to learn. The community garden does allow for multiple plots to be reserved.

I did some research on the yield of a garden of this size and this article seems to make it sound very promising http://www.motherear.....x?PageId=1

In your experience, how large are the gardens you guys are growing? I'm trying to cut our grocery bill substantially so I'm looking to be harvesting weekly for our needs (For two adults). 

Our area has a very unique climate such that I've been told we can grow many crops year round.
