Here are the things I have learned so far from this years' garden that should be applied to next year.
- You CAN plant sweet corn too close together
- Grow more potatoes
- One zucchini plant is enough. Really. Even when you are selling produce. I mean it!
- Mr. Stripey tomatoes are fairly tasteless and they crack.
- Grow more Brandywine tomatoes
- Did I mention that you should grow more potatoes?
- Stagger plantings of cauliflower, no one knows what to do with 15 heads of cauliflower
- German Yellow tomatoes are very susceptible to Blossom End Rot
- Don't plant your pumpkins in May unless you want pumpkin soup in August
- You go through more carrots than you'd think
- 18 square feet of chard is enough chard to supply yourself and the 3 neighboring counties all summer
- Same thing with salad greens
- Those fingerling potatoes are really quite amazing

Isn't it amazing how much you can produce even from the smallest garden? How cool would it be if every neighborhood had a community garden?
