RE: Big House - Tiny Garden, in Upstate New York State, USA
I'm still learning so much every year. Onions seem to like the west sides of my raised beds, so this year they are all on the west sides. I put in 125, plan to thin out 50 over the summer, and should have 75 to over winter. We'll see. This years learn-the-hard-way lesson looks like it will be to use fairly new seeds. My whole row of beets is coming up very sporadically, and I used seeds that had been packed for 2018. I hate wasting space like this. Oh well.
I'm astonished by what you get out of your space. I've assumed you had quite a lot of land.

I have a normal-sized track home lot. But I only grow veggies on the west side of my house, it may be like 35 wide and 45 long. I cram a lot into that small space. My beets are very sporadic, too. I've done two plantings, and my seed was old, too. For the first time, I'm successful with a full row of peas. Usually, the snails or slugs eat them when they sprout. This year, I put crushed-dried eggshells along both sides. It seems to be working. Still something to learn after all these years, lol.
