Kitchen gardening, also known as home gardening or backyard gardening, refers to the practice of growing various fruits, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes even small fruits or ornamental plants in and around one's own home. It's a way for individuals or families to produce their own fresh and organic produce, right in their own space, such as a garden, balcony, or even indoor pots. This can be done on a small scale and is often pursued for its benefits in providing a source of fresh, nutritious food, reducing grocery bills, and connecting with nature.
Location and Space: You can start a kitchen garden in various places - in your backyard, on a balcony, in containers, or even indoors near a sunny window. The available space will determine what and how much you can grow.
Sunlight: Most edible plants require plenty of sunlight. Ensure that your chosen location receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
