Production planning estimate
Plan around lb per 32 sq ft bed
No yard, or no dirt garden to work with? This one can also be grown hydroponically, often in far less space, right on a porch, balcony, or windowsill.
A starting estimate is 25 lb per 32 sq ft bed. That means one garden bed is a reasonable first unit to plan for, then adjust for your climate, practices, and household demand.

Planning note: Sweetens after a light frost. A fall harvest often tastes better than a summer one.
