We were renting the past couple of years and had a small garden. Our problem was we tried to crowd too much into a small space. The soil was very fertile and I had a hard time walking between the row. I did put vine plants such a cucumbers on a trellis system last year and it worked pretty good. We just purchased a home of our own and have been told the deer are terrible in the area. So I may not plant a garden next year. Good luck with yours!
