"One of the first things to consider before planting a vegetable or herb garden outdoors is where it will be located. If your garden is far from your kitchen or hard to access, you might be discouraged from going outside to get the ingredients you need. Fortunately, Stewart has an amazing solution. In an interview with Frederic Magazine, Stewart said, "I like doorways to the outside so that you can bring things in from the garden to use while cooking.""
"This is one of Stewart's all-time best kitchen design tips, meant to give you a clear line of sight or direct access to the garden from the kitchen. After all, having easy and quick access to your vegetable or herb garden can make it even more convenient to tend and care for. Plus, you'll be able to grab the ingredients you need much faster as you prep for cooking."
"If you have a patch of dirt or a garden bed right outside your kitchen door, do some research to figure out which veggies and herbs can be planted together in an in-ground bed. One great gardening tip for beginners is to assess your soil quality and consider supplementing the existing dirt with quality garden soil. If you only have paved outdoor areas, you can still grow vegetables and herbs. There are many vegetables that thrive in pot"
Place a kitchen doorway or direct access to an outdoor herb and vegetable garden to make harvesting convenient. Easy access increases the likelihood of using fresh herbs and vegetables and makes garden care simpler. For in-ground beds, choose compatible vegetables and herbs, assess soil quality, and supplement with quality garden soil as needed. For paved areas, use containers or pots and select vegetables that thrive in containers. Direct access shortens prep time, boosts flavor and nutrition of meals, and encourages regular tending and harvesting.
