I'm just starting my first vegetable garden in the Bay Area. I have 2 small plots in my backyard, one that about 5 x 3 ft. and gets about 5 hours of direct sun per day and another that's 6 x 2 ft and gets more like 7 or 8 hours of sun

Any suggestions as to shich vegetables I can plant at this time of year? I've been told that lettuce is good, but is it worth it to plant lettuce on such a small plot? Is broccoli any different?

It's always worth growing lettuce. A fast crop and tender and delicious. What's your Zone?

Every state has a vegetable planting guide probably from one of your famous universities. Florida has a wonderful one. I would google it. It Should tell you every vegetable that you can plant and when.

I'm no expert here, but they will all grow, but smaller with less or smaller fruit I think. I hope some expert chimes in here to help.
