Kem Ormond’s vegetable garden: How to grow more food in a small space

A small garden does not have to mean a small harvest. Kem Ormond says her sunny deck is already covered with seed trays as the growing season begins.

She is busy sowing seeds and planting seedlings. Her onions are in the ground, and she has started planting seedlings despite the early stage of the season.

Ormond presents compact gardening as a practical exercise in planning. The limited space available does not rule out growing a useful range of vegetables, particularly when gardeners make the most of containers and other space-saving approaches.
