that can be both beautiful and delicious. 2. Make a quick list of your favorite herbs.3. Look at the list and see if they are all related to a specific

theme. 4. May be you find that your garden favorites are all

manageable as an indoor garden. 5. May be your favorites are all healing herbs. Once you

narrow down your choices, you can then focus on finding the best specimens available.

What Types Of Herbs Do You Want To Grow

1. It is important that your herbs fit the growing environment that you have to offer.

2. It is not essential to have a large farm, in order to produce a successful harvest.

Vegetables Kitchen Gardening

What is vegetable Kitchen gardening?

Gardening vegetables is one of the many past time activities that people indulge in. Apart from being entertaining, these are profitable, as the garden later provides you with some excellent home grown vegetables. However, before plunging into the activity of gardening vegetables, you need to make sure of certain factors.

The place or site you choose should receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and also it should be near to a water supply.

The main purpose of a kitchen garden is to provide food for the family.

To save the amount incurred on kitchen vegetables. The saving so made is utilized for other beneficial purposes. In ancient times, kitchen gardens were the sole source of

food in a mainly vegetarian diet. In the modern era, the kitchen garden supplements the

food budget and provides balanced nutrition in a hurried, ready-made-meal world.

Purpose of kitchen Gardening

The kitchen garden may serve as the central feature of an ornamental, all-season landscape, or it may be little more than a humble vegetable plot.

It is a source of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers, but it is often also a structured garden space with a design based on repetitive geometric patterns.

The kitchen garden has year-round visual appeal and can incorporate permanent perennials or woody shrub plantings around (or among) the annuals.
