A kitchen garden is exactly what it sounds like, simply, a garden planted close to the kitchen with the things you use most often.
For us, it’s all about making everyday life a little more practical. When you’re cooking and realize you need a handful of fresh herbs, a few green onions, some lettuce, or a tomato, it’s wonderfully convenient to be able to step outside and pick what you need.
That’s what I love about a kitchen garden. It doesn’t have to be large, complicated, or perfectly planned. You can grow a few of the things your family uses regularly and place them where they’re easy to access.
On a busy homestead, convenience matters! And sometimes the simplest systems are the ones that actually get used.
Do you have a kitchen garden, or even just a few things growing right outside your kitchen?
