This Is What Your Urban Garden Can Grow in One Year

October 17, 2017

Think you have too little space in your city backyard to garden?  I’m here to tell you that as long as you have decent light, you don’t.

This year I planted a small garden in my backyard in a designated garden area, amongst my flowers wherever there was space, in pots, and in three raised beds.  That sounds like a lot of space, but it really isn’t.

Here are my results.

Have you ever wondered how much you can really grow in your urban garden? It might be more than you think! I'm sharing the results of growing vegetables in a tiny garden plot, on my patio in pots, and in a few garden boxes. #urbangardening #gardening #growingvegetables #smallspacegardening #citygardening

Now before you start thinking I’m a complete gardening genius, I’m not.  I’m a wife and a mother of a young child, am self-employed, and don’t have all the time in the world to garden.

I hated gardening as a child, but now that I’m an adult I want to see how much food I can provide for my family with the limited space we have.  Gardening is pretty enjoyable once it’s your own.

Lettuce, Kale and Swiss chard

This year I planted butter crunch lettuce, kale from seed and starters, and every variety of Swiss chard I could get my hands on.  The lettuce and kale did very well, but the Swiss chard would not grow.  It would get going a little ways and then immediately die.

Little did I know that the birds around my yard LOVE Swiss chard and had been eating every little seedling that sprouted.  I reseeded and the birds left that crop alone, probably because other plants had taken over their attention.

Lesson for next year: Either provide a bird feeder to distract them OR come up with some sort of scarecrow.

Peas and Beans

Yet again my pea crop was terrible.  I was lucky to get maybe 20 pea pods.

The beans made up for it.  I planted just the right amount to have fresh beans for meals and give a bit to friends for 3 weeks.  Next year I’d like to plant succession crops so I have some all summer long.

Peppers: The Great Triumph of 2017

I have never been able to grow a decent pepper.  My plants usually end up stunted and I get the teeniest tiniest peppers from them.  This year I found the right spot to grow them.

I grew two bell peppers that were the size of one you’d find in the grocery store, and some Hungarian wax peppers that produced very well.

The only bad part?  I can’t grow them in the spot next year because I need to rotate my crops to keep the soil healthy.

Zucchini and Summer Squash

This year my zucchini didn’t germinate.  It was a challenging year for gardening, so I’m not surprised.  However, one summer squash and one weird volunteer-zucchini-like-plant provided me with vegetables up until the first very hard frost.

I’m a sucker for volunteer plants, so I had to let it grow.  It resembled a zucchini, but it was a very pale yellow, almost white.

Tomatoes

The year was very challenging for tomatoes.  I started 75 seeds and only four ended up being viable for my garden.  This was not all the seeds fault.  I think putting the grow light in the basement isn’t a good idea.  Maybe there’s not enough extra light, or it’s too cold, but it didn’t work out well.

The stuff that did grow was prone to blossom end rot.  We were out of our house for 2 months, so it was hard to be consistent with watering.  After 2 weeks of watering every. single. day. the blossom end rot went away.

 Here’s how to fix blossom end rot in your garden.

I planted Lemon Boy, Black Krim, Roma, Fantastic, and Early Girl tomatoes.  Next year I’m going to research which varieties have lower acidity and stick to those.  There’s something about a higher acidity tomato that makes my tastebuds unhappy.

Make some delicious roasted tomato sauce with your crop.  Get the recipe here!

Onions, Cucumbers, and Other Disappointments

My onions ended up growing no larger than golf balls for the second year in a row.  I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.  They grew just fine three gardens ago.

Four cucumber plants produced a total of 15 cucumbers. . . total.  I think I need to give them their own garden box next year.

I got too greedy with wanting my broccoli to get bigger and all of it except one plant bolted.  My cauliflower never produced anything put leaves.

The butternut squash had too much shade and didn’t do anything.

Carrots

These are the smallest and saddest carrots I have ever grown.  However, they are certainly the prettiest.  I will plant all of the coloured varieties again next year and hope for better luck.  (For reference, each carrot is no more than four inches long.  Usually they grow to at least twice that.)

My only consolation is that pretty much the whole province of Saskatchewan had a terrible carrot year this year.

Pumpkins

I started quite a few varieties of pumpkin from seed, but only had three plants that survived the outdoors.  Those that survived gave me 9 decent sized pumpkins and two adorable baby bump pumpkins.

Potatoes

My potato crop was decent enough, but not what I was hoping for.  Each plant gave us 5-7 medium sized potatoes.  Nothing like the harvests of my childhood with 10-12 potatoes per plant, with some giant potatoes in the mix.

The Fall Garden

My experimental fall garden is doing very well so far.  It’s gone down as far as -7 degrees celsius and the greens are still doing great.  I should probably water them more!  It’s hard to remember because watering isn’t a garden chore that I normally associate with fall.

This is How much Food my Urban Garden Produced

This year I decided to take a picture every time I harvested something.  While it’s not enough to feed a family all winter long, it did provide some nice fresh vegetables during the summer and fall.

I hope this inspires you to make the most of your tiny city backyard.

    Nice haul...we had some very bad weather were I am and a lot of people lost quite a bit. (I belong to a fb gardening group lol) First we had this really weird hot spell (30C) in May where my bulbs and such came up and bloomed and then BAMMMM snow...so I think the bulbs went into shock as I lost most of them. My climbing rose died, my honey suckles all died and my huge, huge Bleeding heart that I've had for7yrs plus also died. We also had quite a drought and for a bit we even had a provincial fire ban.

    I enjoyed this report about harvest from your garden. I am also new to gardening and my veggie patch is about 25 m², and this was my 3rd year. I decided last year that I will weigh everything that I pick from my garden and that really gives a good picture of ones success. I had a very bad luck with starting my seeds - a)used compost that I made which was great but full of volunteer seeds that completely confused everything and b) started to early and my seeds just wouldn't grow, so i had to re seed..and wait..and some seeds had a very, very low germination rate. So, next spring I'll give them jump start like this girl does (I tried it for my fall planting and it woks brilliantly: https://www.apieceofrainbow.com/super-fast-way-start-seeds/), and, just to get them growing, I will put them in store bought potting soil. I do not believe any more in need for plant rotation - and I would advise you to check what Dr. Elaine Ingham is saying on soil food web, and which plants need what - depending if they come in the group of 'grasses' or 'shrubs' or trees - they all need, and are trying to attract and maintain certain microorganisms in the soil that will help them grow. So, if shrubs created perfect soil environment this year, and you plant on that spot something from grass family next year - you are not helping those plants..I truly believe that majority of the solutions are in well prepared compost and during this winter I will be busy learning more about it . Most of my friends and family were very surprised at yield and health of my veggies when I told them that I never used a drop of chemical amendments.. My largest tomato last year (Ox heart) was 730 g, and this year, grown in the same spot - 1,013g!

      Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful comment! I will check out the recourses you mentioned, because it would be so much easier if there was a way around rotating.

Instagram post 2196671569572144940_2204272319 The Christmas baking tray wouldn't be complete without a batch of butter tarts! (Well, at least in Canada 🍁. . . )  I personally love butter tarts with or without nuts or raisins, but I think I love this cranberry version the best of all.⁠
⁠
I'm curious, are you team plain, nuts, raisins, or cranberry butter tart?⁠
⁠
Whatever version you choose, I love making butter tarts because they look fancy, but they're super fast and easy to make--perfect for those who don't do a lot of baking the rest of the year.⁠
⁠
Here's the recipe. . . ⁠
⁠
1/2 cup butter ⁠
1 beaten egg⁠
1 cup brown sugar ⁠
1 tbsp flour⁠
1 tsp vanilla⁠
2 tbsp cream⁠
1 cup dried cranberries ⁠
16 tart pastry shells⁠
⁠
Combine all ingredients (except shells) into a med high pot. Stir until combined and melted and remove from heat when boiled. Fill tart shells. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool and serve.

⁠
You know what is always one of the first things to go on the baking trays?  Anything with cream cheese.  These mocha mint cheesecake bites will help keep you awake at the party, and be a hit with your guests.⁠
⁠
1 box of oreos (36 cookies),⁠
1/2 cup melted butter,⁠
2 envelopes powdered whip topping,⁠
1/2 cup milk,⁠
1/2 cup cold brew coffee⁠
2 bricks cream cheese⁠
4 crushed candy canes⁠
Instructions⁠
⁠
Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter and distribute amongst two lined muffin tins.⁠
Whip two envelopes of powdered whip topping with milk and cold brew coffee. Do not substitute regular whipping cream or all coffee with the powdered whip topping--it will not work!! Set aside.⁠
Whip cream cheese with a small amount of the whipped cream mixture until smooth. Add in the rest of the whipped cream mixture. Spoon overtop of oreo mixture.⁠
Crush four candy canes and sprinkle on top. Crushed Coffee Crisp tastes great too!⁠
⁠
P.S. If you don't like coffee, just replace the cold brew coffee with more milk. ⁠
P.P.S. If you don't have cold brew coffee on hand, brew regular coffee at twice the regular strength.

Let's take a small break from recipes today and discuss what makes a good baking tray.  The key is in the mix, and in the decor.  The goal of the baking tray is to be as appealing to as many people as possible.  Aim for 4-7 different types of baking.  I personally like to have the following types of goodies in mine: ⁠
⁠
✅One decorated cookie, like gingerbread or sugar cookies⁠
✅One chocolate-based item⁠
✅One item that contains jam or fruit⁠
✅One square⁠
✅Shortbread or one shortbread-based goodie⁠
✅One kid-friendly item⁠
and finally, if no one who will be eating the tray has any allergies. . .⁠
✅One thing that contains nuts⁠
⁠
You want to have a variety of different flavours and textures so that you keep your guests coming back for more.  And yes, I may have over-thought this a little bit!⁠
⁠
What's that one thing you hope will be on a baking tray?⁠
⁠
I always go for the shortbread!⁠

Instagram post 2194827779875063954_2204272319 This is me about three-almost-four years ago.  I had just done an interview for a self-love blog by @naomizurv . I was at an interesting place in my life because I was starting this blog, we had finally received Dominic’s Autism diagnosis, and my husband and I had decided that as much as we wanted more kids, it seemed we were destined to be a family of three.  This picture (and interview) was all about accepting life as it was and choosing to make the best of it.  Most of the time I was very happy, but there were times where acceptance only got me so far.  Friends kept having second and third babies, and while I was happy for them, I was sad for me.  Then last February—almost 7 years since Dominic was born—-we had our miracle second baby.  This May, we’ll be having a third surprise miracle baby. 
I’ve been really struggling with breaking the news on social.  While I am over-the-moon to be a Mom for the third time, I also keenly remember the woman in this photo who would have cried and felt bad for a week if I heard this news about someone else.  I also feel like every time I tell people about this pregnancy, they look at me like I’m crazy or are kind of making fun of me.  Just because this was not the timing I would have picked doesn’t mean this baby is any less special, loved, or fiercely wanted.  And while I’m very nervous about handling two babies 15 months apart, I know that it will be worth it to hold my baby I never even dared to dream of.

So there.  I’ve spilled the beans.  Now maybe I can show my face on social media again.  But if not, you know I’m just over here trying to wrap my head around some very big (and good!!) life changes.

So why am I showing you cinnamon buns that aren't cooked?  To prove how much delectable sauce will be at the bottom of this version. . . obviously. 😉⁠
⁠
You can make this cinnamon bun recipe the night before, then set it in the fridge to rise overnight.  Then all you have to do in the morning is heat the oven, cook the cinnamon buns while everyone is unwrapping presents, and they'll be fresh, hot, and ready by the time you're done.⁠
⁠
I also like to save a bit of the sauce and pour it over the cinnamon buns right when they come out of the oven.⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
1 tbsp yeast,⁠
1 tbsp sugar,⁠
1 cup warm water,⁠
2 eggs,⁠
5 cups flour,⁠
pinch of salt,⁠
cinnamon for sprinkling,⁠
brown sugar for sprinkling,⁠
1/2 cup melted butter for rolls,⁠
1 cup cream,⁠
1 cup brown sugar,⁠
1 cup butter.⁠
⁠
Instructions:⁠
⁠
Dissolve sugar in warm water and add yeast. Let sit for ten minutes. Whisk in two eggs. Add flour one cup at a time and mix with dough hook. Add in the pinch of salt with one of your cups of flour. Do not add in the salt before the flour, as it can make the yeast less effective. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled. If it is cold outside, let rise in an oven that has been warmed up and turned off.⁠
⁠
To make sauce, combine the cream, brown sugar, and butter in a sauce pan and mix until combined. Do not boil.⁠
⁠
When the dough has doubled, punch down and divide into 4 smaller balls. Roll out into a rectangle. Spread over some of the melted butter. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut into pieces with a string (as shown in the photo above). Set in a greased pie plate or casserole dish and pour in some sauce. Reserve a bit of sauce for drizzling at the end. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Drizzle with reserved sauce and enjoy!⁠

Today's recipe requires a little more time, but it's the weekend, so you can do it!  This recipe is what my family lovingly refers to as Hutzelbrot.  It's some sort of combination of 3 different German Christmas breads--if you want the full story you'll have to hop on the blog and read about the research I did.  Like many of my family recipes, it's roots are German, but it definitely got North-Americanized along the way.  Anyway.⁠
⁠
It's better than fruitcake and delicious as a breakfast bread.  I didn't really like it as a kid, but now that I'm an adult I gobble it up like there's no tomorrow.⁠
⁠
Ingredients⁠
⁠
2 1/2 cups dried fruit such as peaches, pears, apples, figs, apricots, prunes, cranberries, or currants.⁠
1/2 cup of raisins⁠
5 1/4 cups unbleached white flour⁠
1/2 cup warm water⁠
1 1/2 tbsp dry yeast⁠
1/2 tsp sugar or honey⁠
1 cup liquid from cooking fruit⁠
1 tsp cinnamon⁠
1 tsp salt⁠
1 tsp grated lemon or orange peel⁠
1/2 tsp ground cloves⁠
1/4 cup honey⁠
1/2 cup melted butter⁠
Instructions⁠
⁠
Boil all fruit except raisins. Drain and set one cup of liquid aside for use in the bread recipe.⁠
Combine sugar, yeast and 1/2 cup warm water and let yeast rise for 10 minutes.⁠
Put all ingredients in a mixer and mix with a dough hook until the dough makes a nice soft ball. You can mix by hand, but it is very difficult dough to work with and don't recommend it for beginners.⁠
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. This can range from 1-2 hours depending on the humidity level where you live.⁠
Punch down and shape into loaves. Place in greased bread pans and poke holes in the top with a fork. Let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.⁠
Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes, or 25-30 minutes if you use smaller loaf pans.⁠
Notes⁠
⁠
Rising times vary greatly depending on how much humidity is in the air on baking day. Even though the recipe takes a long time, most of that is spent impatiently waiting for the dough to rise.

⁠
Shortbread is one of my favourite Christmas treats, but whenever I made it I would always mess it up.  The first time I tried to replace the butter with margarine. . . bad idea.  Another time, I chose a three ingredient recipe that was so crumbly it wasn't worth eating.  Then I found this recipe and everything was better!! Until 2 Christmas's ago when I went to Jamaica and decided to make them for my new relatives.  Hot and humid country + different butter= cookies that were a complete disaster.  However, we didn't throw them away and someone served them when everyone came to visit the condo we rented.  I was mortified, but my brother-in-law's family loved them, as they had never experienced North American style baking.⁠
⁠
Moral of the story?  Don't make these in a tropical-weather country.  But even if they flop, they're still really delicious!⁠
⁠
1 cup corn starch,⁠
1 cup icing sugar,⁠
2 cups flour,⁠
1 1/2 cups butter, softened⁠
Instructions⁠
⁠
Mix all ingredients and spoon on to a cookie sheet.⁠
Optional: chill for 30 minutes and roll out for a cut cookie⁠
Apply sprinkles or cherries before baking⁠
Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes. Cookies should have the barest hint of light brown at the edges. Makes 48 small cookies⁠
⁠
If you want the cookies to look like this, skip the sprinkles and the cherries and bake them plain instead.  Once everything has cooled, dip cookies in melted white chocolate and sprinkles.
