How much to plant for a family of four?
As a new gardener, you might wonder how much of each vegetable to plant. It's actually hard to say. Plant a ton of what you like and none of what you don't. But I will share with you here some guidlines. My recommendation? Start with this chart next season (or even right now since it's time to put in Fall crops) and then adjust at a later date.
