Choosing vegetables for your plan: characteristics and quantities

Not every vegetable is suitable for every taste. While you may love certain types, there are others you use rarely or not at all. When planning your vegetable growing, you should therefore make sure to choose your favorite vegetables – those you like to eat and use often.
