Use of space
Anything that will grow up.
Pole beans. Plant them, give them string to grow on against a fence or building. No maintenance, pick young for green beans. Dry mature beans for chili and soup/stew
Cucumber, summer squash, winter squash all grow well on a fence or trellis.
Plant carrots and beets at end of rows and small spaces. No maintenance except, thin hard. Cheap to buy, although much better nutrition for your family from your own garden. Plant double and triple rows to save space.
Dedicate an area for herbs. Plant solid. Step on a few.......oh well. Save dill, cilantro and parsley seed. Sprinkle in those wild areas to out compete the weeds.
Plant what your family will eat most of and get the best food value and enjoy, not by the cost to buy.
A small row of mixed salad greens will keep you in salads if cut frequently.
Corn, beans and squash in the same plot. Works
