Camp 8 Garden & Growers

If you think gardening is only for folks with big backyards and raised beds, let us stop you right there.

Fall is one of the best times to grow food and you don’t need much space to make it happen. Whether you’ve got a small porch, a balcony, a corner of your patio, or just a little patch of sunlight, you can grow something real. Something fresh. Something you’ll actually eat.

Best Fall Veggies for Small Space

Here’s what thrives in containers, towers, or tight spaces during fall. Bonus: most of these small space gardening plants grow fast and can handle chilly weather.

✅ Leafy Greens (shallow roots = great for containers)

• Lettuce (butterhead, romaine, looseleaf)

• Spinach

• Kale

• Arugula

• Swiss chard

✅ Root Veggies (use deeper containers)

• Radishes (grow in 25–30 days!)

• Carrots

• Beets

• Turnips

✅ Fall-Friendly Favorites

• Green onions (regrow from scraps in jars!)

• Garlic (plant in fall, harvest in spring)

• Herbs like basil, thyme, mint, parsley

• Peppers (great if started early or bought as transplants. They love warm fall days in Zones 7–9)
