If you’re cramped for space and don’t have a lot of room for gardening or planting, you probably think you’ll be consigned to grocery store shopping forever. That’s not true, though, as there are a lot of garden veggies that you can easily grow, even in a cramped space.
Your first step is to decide what you want to grow and then choose appropriate containers and space to grow them in. For this little list of popular veggies, I’ve narrowed it to the easiest to grow and care for as well as those that are very space-conscious and won’t require a ton of room.
Before you begin planting, though, you might consider sprouting as your first step. Sprouting is easy, fun, and extremely economical and is a good first introduction to gardening.

Now on to the standard vegetables. The most common gardening choices for home-grown vegetables are tomatoes, salad greens, zucchini, cucumbers, peas, snap beans, squash, and asparagus. Generally in that order.
For indoor growing, almost all of these will do well, though the yield of some of these crops is lower (per plant) than others, which is a consideration if you’re hoping to maximize your small or indoor garden’s output.
