I have a normal-sized track home lot. But I only grow veggies on the west side of my house, it may be like 35 wide and 45 long. I cram a lot into that small space. My beets are very sporadic, too. I've done two plantings, and my seed was old, too. For the first time, I'm successful with a full row of peas. Usually, the snails or slugs eat them when they sprout. This year, I put crushed-dried eggshells along both sides. It seems to be working. Still something to learn after all these years, lol.
