Growing your own herbs and vegetables is a joy — there’s nothing quite like picking fresh coriander, mint, or tomatoes straight from your balcony or garden! However, maintaining a kitchen garden can be a challenge, especially with busy schedules or unpredictable weather.
Here are a few easy tips to help your kitchen garden flourish 
-
Pick the Right Spot
Your plants need 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. A sunny balcony, terrace, or windowsill is ideal. -
Water Wisely
Too much or too little water can harm your plants. Always check the soil moisture first — if the top inch feels dry, it’s time to water! -
Feed Your Plants
Use organic compost or kitchen scraps (like fruit peels, eggshells, and coffee grounds) to keep the soil rich in nutrients. -
Prune and Harvest Regularly
Trimming dead leaves encourages new growth, and frequent harvesting keeps plants productive. -
Be Aware of Pests
Natural sprays like neem oil or homemade garlic-chili mixtures can help keep pests at bay. -
Keep Experimenting
Try new herbs, microgreens, or seasonal vegetables — each plant teaches you something new!
