Question by Ryan S: What garden vegetables are useful in the kitchen and the plant doesn't take up a lot of space?

I am looking for a garden vegetable that is commonly used in food and doesn't take up large amounts of room. I don't have a lot of space cleared for gardening at this point, but I am working to expand it. Also, I'd like a vegetable that is known for being abundant so maybe I could share with the family/neighbors.

For the last 3 years or so, I have done pumpkins, zuchinni( I have no idea how to spell that) and melons. But, this was a huge mistake in my case because the vines crawled all over the place- and cleaning up all that in the fall wasn't exactly a trip to the beach, either.

I have grown tomatoes in recent years, also- and have had a good turnout every time. I realize they don't take up a lot of room, but I'm looking for something different. And I am thinking to stay away from herbs, too- knowing the way I am I wouldn't be able to tell them apart form weeds!

What kind of vegetables do you recommend?

You can do salad greens in a hanging planter.
