| Ktchen Garden in Pots |
Kitchen gardening that is also called edible garden or secret garden, is getting popular these days; anyone having a little space with proper air and light can start it at home level. This space may be a lawn, a row in your lawn, a fancy pot or a scrap container on the concrete floor. Kitchen gardening is a good and beneficial activity that requires an ample time to start and not much when settled once. Many people love to opt it as a hobby and keep themselves busy by decorating their houses with innovation and new techniques. This depicts your taste and aesthetic sense.
DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP
There are still many who hesitate to take the first step in starting a kitchen garden(Edible garden or secret garden), as they have not enough information regarding soil, fertilizer, and kind of plants to select. Also, they are not aware of suitable seasons for their plants. It seems burdens to collect all in one go. But patience is the only key to start any job hence, kitchen gardening is joyous and fun to see one plant coming out of its seed and finally giving you the results in shape of flowers, vegetables or fruits. Though all plants do not mean to provide these results, there are some that show only colorful leaves and bunch of thrones. But still, they seem impressive and splendid in your little pots.
GET BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Before starting kitchen gardening, you must get some basic information regarding your native seasons, kind of soil available in a nearby nursery, selection of pots or place where you want to grow vegetables and plants. Perfect fertilizer, pesticides, and watering techniques are also important. You need to know the care of plants you are growing as different kinds of plants as well. Some of them require less care and some are attention seekers. Without knowing the basics this could be a disaster and let you down to leave it. I will try to provide as much I know about gardening. Initially, it was my hobby but now I cannot live without my plants. I learned a lot during last 25 years but I am not the authority. Knowledge has no boundaries, so you should read more and more to improve yourself, as I did.

BASIC NEEDS OF PLANTS
Basic needs of growing plants are light/sunlight, water, air, fertilizer, pesticide and perfect nutrient soil. All should be gathered in the right proportion. Plants need balance diet otherwise they may become lousy or dull. The required amount of said ingredients could be different in various types of plants; some require full light but other soft sunlight. Many are good with less water but others are very thirsty. We cannot make the same mixture for all. I am going to start with basics and gradually go towards next steps so that it could be easy to understand and you can do it practically at home.
WHY IT IS CALLED A SECRET GARDEN?
As many of our kitchen gardens are situated in our backyards and people often surprised to see them, that is why your kitchen garden or edible garden is called "secret garden" also.
