Choose plants that naturally produce more, such as arugula and zucchini. These crops are fast-growing and can be continuously harvested, ensuring a steady supply of fresh produce.

Use season-stretching devices like cold frames and row covers to protect fall crops, allowing you to grow more throughout the year. Avoid straight rows and, instead, stagger plants or use block planting to maximize space efficiency.
