Think you need a big backyard to grow your own food? Think again! In this episode, we’re talking about practical ways to garden in small spaces—whether you live in an apartment, have a tiny backyard, or just want to make the most of every inch of soil. Many people dream of growing food but feel limited by their space. Today, we’re diving into creative ways to make gardening work—no matter where you live! Whether it’s filling flower beds with vegetables, growing vertically with trellises and stacking pots, or using grow lights indoors, there’s always a way to produce fresh food. I also share insights on how to connect with local farmers for bulk produce and preserving opportunities. If you’re ready to turn even the smallest space into a thriving garden, this episode is for you!
Main Topics Covered:
- Making the most of what you have—using flower beds, front yards, porches, and containers
