A '#PotagerGarden' Is Perfect for Anyone Who Wants to Start Growing Their Own Food
Calling all green-thumbed cooks!
By Laura Fenton, April 17, 2025
Excerpt (I LOVE this idea and have used it):
Incorporate Decorative Garden Structures
"Potager gardens often include decorative vertical elements like trellises and tuteurs. 'I replaced all my boring metal tomato cages with willow pyramids, and I love adding trellises for vertical climbers like sweet peas and cucumbers,' says Poshusta. Likewise, decorative cloches can add that vertical element and protect your crops from nibbling animals. Gardner has an arbor with climbing roses that defines the entry to her potager."

Between wars and climate change, it's quite reasonable to be concerned about food shortages in the next few years.
Is this already on your radar? If so, do you have your own garden or are you taking a different approach?

#Watering my #FoodGardens 👩🌾
I'm a longtime #WaterProtector & been arrested multiple times for #DirectAction for protecting water 💧#NoRegrets ✊ -
We grow goji trees & have a few - varying maturities - all over our front & back #FoodGardens . Harvested some leaves & berries. Made my parents a #traditional #Teochew #Chinese #soup with them & some pork. It's a longtime #Cultural #ComfortFood & it's #medicinal too. I'll take pics next time I make it. Things have been very stressful on my end - with 2 parents not well ATM & my finances are being drained by more medical costs. Doing my best to not lose my shit. This is a difficult time for me.
