Edible Gardening
Herbs, salad gardens, tomatoes & peppers, kitchen gardens, succession planting, growing by zone
Edible Gardening covers the practical side of growing your own food, from herbs and salad greens to tomatoes, peppers, and full kitchen gardens. The articles here focus on choosing crops that suit your space, whether that means a raised bed, a patio container, or a small yard with room for dwarf fruit trees. Several guides look at specific herbs such as basil and cilantro, including how to keep them producing rather than bolting, and others compare the best vegetables and tomato varieties for raised beds and pots.
You will also find articles on companion planting for raised beds, cover crops for raised bed soil, and container setups for beginners. Other pieces address cost, asking which vegetables give the most harvest for the least money, and how to grow a meal garden that produces more than side dishes. A few articles cover growing citrus in pots in colder climates and choosing easy plants for children.
