How To Start a Container Kitchen Garden (Planting Vegetables & Herbs)

This week, amidst the chaos of moving and unpacking, I decided to take a much-needed break and focus on something I’ve been incredibly excited to start-my new kitchen garden. After a weekend of settling into the new house, I was eager to get my hands dirty and plant some vegetables and herbs. Although it's late in the season, I was inspired to give it a go, especially after receiving a wonderful delivery from Rocket Gardens.
I ordered a variety of vegetables and herbs, which arrived in excellent condition and were ready to plant. I’ve planted sweet potatoes, carrots, chives, rocket, lettuce, and butternut squash. It’s a bit of an experiment, but I’m excited to see how everything turns out! There’s something truly satisfying and rewarding about enjoying crops you’ve grown yourself.
This new project has been a welcome distraction from the stress of moving, and I’ve found it extremely therapeutic to reconnect with gardening. Even though there’s still a lot to do around the house, I’m looking forward to watching my kitchen garden grow. I’ll keep you updated on its progress and share more with you soon!
Love,
Charlie x

It’s the little things that makes somewhere a home isn’t it. I’m sure your plants will thrive,there’s nothing nicer than picking things from your own garden.

I have recently moved house since my husband died. My garden is mainly a large patio so this is really interesting to me.

Hope they all grow, there's nothing better than home grown fruit and veg. Good luck. ❤❤❤❤❤

How lovely Charlie, I’m looking forward to seeing the progress of your kitchen garden - you’ve inspired me to get some veggies into a spare raised bed in my garden - I’ll give Rocket Gardens a go. Did you you know you can freeze chives, if you snip them and pop them into an empty plastic bottle, like a small water bottle, they don’t clump together when frozen and you can just shake them from the bottle, straight from the freezer onto whatever you fancy 😊

Such a great tip thanks very much xx

There’s nothing like doing some gardening when you’re stressed! Fingers crossed for the seedlings 🙏

Hi Charlie thank you for sharing, before I got my vegetable garden set up I grew everything in pots, onions do remarkably well. For your herbs you can always buy a living pot from the supermarket and divide it up, that is how I always do my coriander as have always had struggles from seed, it dies back but in a few days you see it growing back and you get copious amounts ❤ xx

Beautiful garden that will be bountiful soon! Some English gardens feel stuffy and yours is casual, and authentically rustic with the galvanized tubs and trugs intermixed with beautifully aged terracotta. Can’t wait to see it grow!
