When I started my gardening journey last year, I didn’t have a big garden or a lot of money to spend. I simply started with three pots. 🪴 🪴 🪴

I planted things I often use when cooking, like rosemary, thyme and spring onions. As I became more interested in gardening, I started buying another pot here and there and growing different herbs and vegetables.

Eventually, I realised I needed more space because I wanted to grow vegetables that I actually wanted to eat. So, I cleaned up a small area at the back of my shed and started planting.

During summer, I grew bitter melon, swamp cabbage, eggplant, saluyot, okra, cucumber, tomatoes, lemongrass and chillies etc. 🍅🌶️

Then came winter, and I filled my backyard with onions, garlic, lettuce, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, broccolini, carrots, kale, radishes, silverbeet and more. 🥦🥕🥬

I also planted potatoes throughout the year and started growing fruit trees in large pots. 🍊🥔🌳

This year, I took another step and expanded my garden with garden beds and more grow bags.

But my biggest tip is: DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE A BIG GARDEN TO START.

Start with one or two pots. 🪴🪴

Plant the herbs or vegetables you use regularly when you cook.

Grow a little, learn a little, and expand when you’re ready.

You don’t need a huge backyard or a huge budget to start growing your own food. Start small, start with what you need, and let your garden grow with you. 💚

Today, I bought a small bunch of coriander—around 10 sprigs—and it cost me $3.80!

I bought it because I was curious to see what it tastes like and how it smells when added to cooking. But honestly, I was shocked by the price for such a small amount! 😂

So, after that, I went to Bunnings and bought some coriander seedlings. Now I’m going to grow my own!

Next time, instead of buying a little bunch for $3.80, I’ll just walk into my garden and pick some fresh coriander. Hahaha!
