How are you feeding your family during these harsh economic times? Do you have a kitchen garden yet? if not what is stopping you from setting up one. Well, I continue to believe that having a simple backyard vegetable kitchen garden can save you a few coins and also give you and your family fresh vegetables in your kitchen and dinner table.

I have been growing some vegetables in my gardens such as beetroots, dhania, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, and herbs. I will share some tips that have helped my garden to thrive and be successful

How to prepare the garden

• Preparing the soil to a fine tilth before planting
• Select and plant vegetables that do well in your region
• Have a water source or improvise your kitchen waste water for proper watering of the vegetables
• Make sure they are exposed to sunlight
• Be on the watch for pests and diseases
• Use an organic fertilizer when necessary

This is something to be proud of and you can do it in plastic containers, pots, raised gardens, and bags. You also need to understand your space to pick the right way of gardening, know what you want to plant, and the right type of soil to use.
