The amount of something that a garden can hold or produce; a quantity measured by what fills a garden.
Compound of 'garden' and '-ful' (full of, or a quantity that fills), following patterns like 'handful,' 'cupful,' and 'roomful.' The suffix derives from Old English meaning 'full of.'
The '-ful' suffix is tricky because '-fuls' is more common as a plural than '-fulls,' so you'd say 'three cupfuls' not 'three cupfull.' Our brains instinctively know these rules without being taught!
