Tomatoes are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be grown in small spaces, such as containers or hanging baskets.

With proper care and pruning, you can expect to have a bounty of fresh, juicy tomatoes all summer long that you can then turn into sauces, chutneys and much more for the winter.
2.) Peppers / Chillies
Whether you are a fan of sweet or hot peppers; they are another great option for small-space gardening.
They can be grown in containers or raised beds, and come in a variety of colours and flavours. They require plenty of sunlight and water, but are generally low-maintenance if you can get them grown early enough.
With a little patience, you can harvest your own peppers for use in salads, stir-fries, and other vibrant dishes.
