Zone 1 Permaculture // my kitchen garden is located close to my house and I can turn the outdoor lights on at night to go out and grab a few things fresh for dinner. I think I’ve picked lettuce and greens for every single meal this week! Even some of my Beetroot and broccoli leaves have been getting a trim for stirfrys🌿

Do you have a kitchen garden? What have you been picking from it 🌱

Spring and summer prep has already started 🌿🌸🌈✨ Just tested out my @hoselinkofficial weeper hose and it works a treat 💦

We tend to have very sandy aqua-phobic soil here and temperatures reach over 40degrees during summer. This can make it very tough on my plants to get enough water 💦

This front garden gets full sun all year round so I have planted citrus which can handle that kind of environment. I have a dwarf lime, blood orange, mandarin and lemonade 🍊🍋

Here are a few ways to get prepared water-wise for summer ☀️
💧add a fresh layer of mulch to keep the moisture in. Your soil is living and just like your skin it needs protection from the harsh sun rays. Use living ground covers or mulch.
💧 weeper hose to slow the water down and allow the plants to absorb the water without it running off or flowing straight through the sandy soil.
💧 close convenient access to a hose or water. I have just installed a new retractable hose just behind our gate for those super hot days.
💧water very early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid loss from evaporation.
💧build healthy soil. Adding fibre and lots of compost will help improve the sandy soil, grow strong healthy plants and reduce water loss.
💧 recycle your water used in the household by using eco grey-water friendly soaps and detergents.

Creating a kitchen garden close to your house is a great place to start growing your own food! 🌿✨🥕🌶Somewhere you can clearly see it so that you are more likely to use your veggies, care for them and in return they will thrive 🙌 I can see mine out of my kitchen window which makes me so happy 💚😊🌿🥦

You don’t even need to have garden space available to start growing. My kitchen garden is all in moveable pots and pallet planters 🌱 Grow things that you will use regularly and may want to just grab one or two things for dinners. I have lots of root vegetables, greens, herbs and salad/ stirfry veggies.
