Kitchen Gardening

Kitchen gardening is the simple act of growing edible plants close to your kitchen. That could be anything from a pot of basil on the windowsill, a balcony box of cherry tomatoes, or a tidy raised bed just outside the back door. The goal is just to have fresh flavour at your fingertips whenever you cook.

In this section, you'll find beginner-friendly guides for starting seeds, step-by-step tutorials for popular crops like tomatoes, beans, and lettuce, plus practical tips on harvesting, storing, and using your home-grown produce.

Dive in, pick a project that suits your space, and enjoy the satisfaction of eating something you grew yourself.
