How to Grow a Kitchen Garden

 Grow a Kitchen Garden



Create an indoor kitchen garden in a small space! You do not realize that the main places for a small kitchen garden are windows with east or south exposure! Check out our tips for creating both a kitchen herb and an organic kitchen vegetable garden, in which most indoor vegetable plants will grow well in a sunny window.


Take a cut from some of your favorite indoor and outdoor plants and root them in water to start a kitchen garden. Use pruners or a sharp knife to cut 3- or 4-inch stems; Remove the leaves from the bottom and place the cut stem in a small container. If you like, select colorful containers and place them on the window.


Although this does not apply to every plant, it is the easiest spreading method for rooting kitchen plants in water. Change the water in the containers weekly because stagnant water becomes cloudy, reducing the attractiveness of the arrangement. Most importantly, bacteria can create and create unhealthy media for kitchen plants.


Enjoy the cuts during the winter months, then transfer them to containers and keep them outside in the summer.


Need to know about planting


Most plants for a kitchen garden only thrive for a limited time without soil to spread their roots. When you transplant the rooted cuttings into the potting mix, keep in mind that the roots that form in the water are thinner and more brittle than the roots that form in the soil. Keep the potting mixture moist for at least a week after planting to avoid shock to the kitchen plants and allow new roots to grow. However, rooted cuttings in the soil should be watered once when a pot is placed in the soil to begin to grow, and not until the soil is almost dry.


Herb Garden


Start with the right container



If you choose a kitchen herb that is too small, your herbs will not like it. Too big, it does not fit in a window. Find a kitchen herb that is 4 inches deep and wide enough for your window. Beautiful, brilliant kitchen herb gardeners can decorate your kitchen. (Be careful: polished ones can prevent evaporation, which can lead to damp roots.) Beat chalkboard paint for terra-cotta kitchen plant pots and write herbal names on the pages. Another trick: add stocks so you know what. If you reuse anything else - say a vintage tin - make sure you have a drain hole and a saucer to catch excess water. It is necessary.


Next, add the herbs


Most herbs are very easy to start. You can cut a branch from an outdoor plant and stick it in the potting soil. You can buy seeds - however, you will have to wait longer for the finished herbs. Or you can buy small seedlings.


Mix in a little sunlight


Outside, you need to carefully consider whether the kitchen plants like sun or shade. Inside, with herbs, all you really need is the amount of happy, healthy sunlight from a window (the southern part is best). Look for a place with about six hours of good rays for your indoor wall herb garden. You will also need a soilless pot mixer and you will need to fertilize every month.


Kitchen vegetable garden


Vegetables need at least six hours of sun daily


Your vegetable garden needs some sunny windows or artificial lighting to do the trick.


Make decorative arrangements


Combine different indoor vegetable plants in a container. For example, plant red and green leafy greens together or place them on the edge of a container holding a patio tomato with leaf lettuce and radish.


Fertilize vegetables every two weeks


Water to keep the soil evenly moist, especially when the vegetables in your indoor garden start to bloom and produce fruit. Help fruit production by lightly brushing with your hand to spread pollen during flowering vegetables in your kitchen garden.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1. Desert rose The thick, fleshy leaves of this succulent retain water, so you don't need to water as often. The desert rose gets its name from its habitat and its resemblance to a rose. 2. Aloe Vera When someone says a...
