Answer:the gardener planted 7 rows lengthwise.

Explanation:

6 feet = 72 inches and 14 feet = 168 inches.Next, we need to calculate the number of rows that can fit lengthwise with 18 inches of space between each row.We can use the formula:number of rows = (length of garden - space between rows) / (width of planting area + space between rows)Plugging in the values, we get:number of rows = (168 - 18) / (18 + 6)number of rows = 150 / 24number of rows = 6.25
