In Southern California, I have one growing in a 2 ft x 1 ft area, and it grows fast enough to provide my small family to pick weekly. It's enough for us to make a salad, and soup about 2 or 3 times a week. This plant loves moist soil, and does well in full sun, partial sun/partial shade, filtered light. In colder climate, this plant can be grown indoor by the window, but will be a bit slower growing.
