Grow No Garden
You do not need a raised bed, greenhouse, or permanent fixtures. Start with light, containers, watering, and a few forgiving crops that fit your windowsill, balcony, patio, or doorstep.
Pick one bright windowsill, balcony corner, patio edge, or sheltered doorstep. Add a container with drainage, peat-free multipurpose compost, and one plant you are likely to use often.
