Growing your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs at home is an easy way to get a little more fresh produce into your diet. My family has enjoyed growing a small home garden for several years.
No matter the size of your space, there’s a lot you can grow. Even if you only have room for a pot or two on your porch, give it a try.
I also enjoy our backyard garden because of what it has taught my kids. First, hard work pays off. Second, good things are worth waiting for. And I know you’ve heard it before, but when kids grow their own food, they are much more likely to try a new veggie – and like it.
Home gardening tracker
One thing that has helped my family keep up our garden in the past is a chart. You guys know I love anything to organize. I’ve used a boring Excel spreadsheet in the past, but I thought I would make a new cute one.
This gardening printable has space to write in all the details so you know when to expect little green shoots and then, of course, dinner. There is also room for notes, such as “needs water daily” or whatever you want to remember next time.
Make a new schedule each season and save them so that next year you can check your notes.
Home gardening tips
Starting a home garden can be as simple as sprinkling a few seeds in a pot. If you have the time to devote to it, a backyard garden can be a good source of food for your family.

Most seed packets come with a range of dates to plant and sometimes a map. This US is divided into hardiness zones, which is based on the last frost date each year. To find yours, enter your zip code into this USDA hardiness zone finder.

I specifically ordered organic seeds this year and I think my garden has done better with less work.
great idea! I would like one filled in though 🙂 This year I am limiting myself to essentials – potatoes, beans, tomatoes. Also was a bad girl, I did order some hybrid corn said made for container gardens. I know not good but i am curious!
There are too many options to make a filled-in one! I think there are something like 8 different growing regions in just the US. Not to mention, hundreds of things you could grow. 🙂 I’d love to know how that corn turns out!
