Grow your own food – a backyard garden guide

Tips, ideas, and stories from my suburban kitchen garden
I garden in my suburban backyard in the Lower Rhine region of Germany – no raised beds, no greenhouse, just in-ground, no- or low-dig gardening that’s all about healthy soil, thriving plants, and working with nature instead of fighting it.
Gardening connects me to the seasons, the soil, and something older than supermarket shelves. On this page, you’ll find practical guides and personal reflections on growing vegetables, fruit, and herbs yourself, in a way that’s real, manageable, and rewarding.
