>That isn't much room, but can be very productive.  No corn, viney squash,
potatoes, etc.  Stuff you want close to kitchen: Lettuce, radishes (Plant
only a few every couple weeks), Chard (I've found the green Dorat gives more
leaves than Rhubarb Chard),tomatoes must be staked or else determinate-
you'll get more by tall ones like Early Girl, Dona, up in the air than short
ones.  Plant onions, carrots, beets, etc. broadcast then thinned to
equidistant spacing of 2-4 inches, instead of rows.  Broccoli, cauli- 18"
apart equidistant spacing.  By stretching yourselves, you can garden from
the outside of the garden by reaching in 4 feet to the center.  That
eliminates any waste space for rows, plant solid crops, keep your feet out
of the garden!  Good luck.
