Garden Plan to Grow 650 Pounds of Food in 267 sq ft

I’m walking you through my actual spring garden plan — what I’m planting, where it’s all going, and how I decide what earns space in my garden. I garden in Ontario, Zone 6, with about a 150-day growing season. My last frost is usually around May 15, and my first frost is around October 10, so spring planning really matters here. What I plant now determines how much we’re eating fresh, how much I’m able to preserve, and how close I get to my harvest goals for the year. I don’t have a huge garden — about 267 square feet total — which means every decision counts. Instead of planning by vegetable, I plan my spring garden around meals. I focus on food I can cook once and then pull straight from the freezer or pantry on busy nights. In this video, I share: • How and why I’m growing potatoes and broccoli as my main spring crops • How I plan carrots, onions, peas, and beets based on meals like beef stew, chicken pot pie, and gnocchi • How I estimate yields and decide how much to plant • Why some crops get limited space, even if they’re high-yielding • How I use raised beds vs in-ground beds in heavy clay soil • What I’m growing for fresh eating vs preserving By early to mid-summer, many of these spring crops will be finished, and I’m hoping to have harvested around 200 pounds of food already — before tomatoes and melons even start producing. If you’re gardening in Ontario, Zone 6, or another short-season climate, I hope this gives you ideas for planning a spring garden that actually supports real meals and year-round eating. In the next video, I’ll be sharing my full succession planting plan — how I turn this spring layout into a productive summer and fall garden. #OntarioGardening #Zone6Garden #SpringGardenPlanning #SmallGarden #GrowYourOwnFood #RaisedBedGarden
