Whats the quickest and hopefully releateively cheap way to get a vegie patch up and running, and where on my block should I put it? I just want to grow basic stuff - greens, brocolli, zucchini

Our yard is small, and we still want to retain an area for the kids to play, so something small is what we are after.


The front of the house faces east, so the short ends of the yard south/north

Does the vegie patch have to face north? Is there a "best" aspect?

There is enough room for what I'd like between the fence on the south side, bt Im worried as the clothesline sits next to that and im not sure if when full it will block too much of the sunlight?

I have a picture of the block but i cant get the gallery to upload it.
