I have a 3 by 8 SFG in my backyard now. This summer the yields weren’t great, but I know next year will be better. I planted and the yield:
- tomatoes – will have harvested 4 tomatoes by the end of summer
- cherry tomatoes – 1/2 lb. cherry tomates
- green beans – 1lb.
- peppers – 0 :(
- nasturtiums – many flowers
- marigolds – many flowers, keep some bugs away
- basil – tons of pesto
- cucumber – 2 tiny cucumbers
- zucchini – tons of flowers, no fruit
Once you put in the initial effort to set everything up, planting’s a breeze. I’m already planning for next year.
