How Far to Space Vegetables in a Raised Garden?

How Far to Space Vegetables in a Raised Garden?. Because the gardener does not need to walk through a raised garden bed, vegetables can be planted throughout the entire bed instead of in traditional rows. Plant spacing depends on the type of vegetable being grown.

Because the gardener does not need to walk through a raised garden bed, vegetables can be planted throughout the entire bed instead of in traditional rows. Plant spacing depends on the type of vegetable being grown.
Root Vegetables
Plant root vegetables 2 to 12 inches apart, depending on the size of the fully grown vegetable. Small root crops such as carrots, onions, radishes and beets need only 2 to 4 inches of space; turnips and rutabagas should be 4 to 6 inches apart; kohlrabi should be 6 to 9 inches apart; and potatoes should be 10 to 12 inches apart.
Small Vegetables
Leafy greens, and vining pea and bean plants can be spaced closely in a raised garden. Plant spinach and leaf lettuce plants 4 to 6 inches apart; Swiss chard and mustard 6 to 9 inches apart; peas 2 to 4 inches apart; and beans 4 to 12 inches apart.
Large Vegetables
Most other large vegetables, including tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, broccoli, cucumbers and corn need between 1 and 2 feet of space between them in a raised garden bed. Winter squash plants, including pumpkins, need 2 to 3 feet of space in a raised garden bed.
