Even if you've got a postage-stamp sized yard, you can still have a lush, crop-yielding garden. There's vertical gardening, of course, and windowsill gardening too (which can extend your outdoor garden and give you a bit of an indoor garden as well).
More tips to getting the most out of your small garden include choosing high-volume vegetables or high-yield flowers. Look for plants that keep growing as you cut or pick them--this is a great way to keep your garden looking fresh. For variety in small gardens, take advantage of planting seasons: start in spring with early crops, then move on to midsummer and late fall growth. Depending on where you live, you could have new growth throughout the year.
If you plan carefully, you can inter-plant. This is the practice of planting smaller, faster-growing plants between larger ones (like green onions between rows of broccoli). The green onions can be harvested before they become overshadowed by the slower-growing broccoli.
Always keep your small hard-working patch of earth healthy, by feeding the soil with compost after each harvest.
