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.
