A true kitchen garden is built on a wide range of vegetables, fruits, flower and herbs. Knowing when to start seeds indoors versus sowing them directly in the garden takes a bit of experience. And knowing what to grow will save you money and just make everything better. I can’t say enough about the importance of starting with a design before planting. When you start with a plan, it’s easier to select the right plants and visualize how to frame your space with borders and pathways.
The Complete Kitchen Garden is filled with ideas (and recipes), but if you would like a little help organizing your kitchen garden design, check out my customized one and a half hour consultation. I’ll give you individualized attention to make sure you are starting off with a design that is efficient, productive and beautiful.
