Not sure what "small is" but mine is 16 x 16. 4 rows: cherry tomatoes, kentucky bush beans(snap beans; 1 entire row, plenty!), banana peppers, bell pepers, eggplant. Basically, 2 landscape timbers wide by 2 length.

Yard is too small (thank goodness) The last house we lived in had a huge backyard we loved it at first, til about 3 years of mowing that sucker. I am really enjoying my neighbors satsuma tree though. I find about 3 satsumas in my yard each morning

gerald are you going back with pole beans or are you gonna try bush this year? Thought I remembered you saying that your pole beans didn't produce like you wanted. I planted contender bush beans in my winter garden and had a lot of success. just curious, sure would be more convienent to pick the beans without having to bend down as much!!
