One Day in My Tiny House Garden 🌿 Reset & Edible Makeover



After weeks away, I finally returned to my tiny house — and nature had taken over! In this video, I spend a full day resetting my garden: cleaning up, replanting edible herbs and veggies, and turning chaos into calm.

Watch as I bring my lived-in garden back to life with a peaceful vertical makeover.
Whether you’re into tiny living, slow life, or edible gardening — I hope this inspires you 🌿

Stepping back into my tiny oasis—jasmine in hand, ready to scent the porch. Fun fact: one jasmine plant can perfume an 800 sq ft yard at night. In the grocery bag: geranium cuttings and two power-herbs—basil & reyhan. Reyhan, a purple basil, contains anthocyanins that help plants resist UV. Geraniums were first popularised in window boxes on Victorian trains. Tiny-house porches act like heat sinks; plants here grow 15 % faster. I angle the jasmine toward the east—morning sun boosts bloom cycles. Basil loves six hours of sunlight; its scent also deters mosquitoes. Carrying seedlings slowly reduces root shock—worth the extra minute. Entering home base barefoot grounds the body and lowers stress hormones. Empty raised bed awaiting new tenants—basil and reyhan are first. Raised soil warms 2 °C faster than ground, stretching the season. I space basils 25 cm apart; cramped stems invite mildew. Adding compost brewed from kitchen scraps—zero-mile fertilizer. Basil roots exude eugenol, slowing soil nematodes naturally. Reyhan’s purple pigment doubles as natural sunscreen for leaves. I pinch lower leaves off—drives root energy downward for stability. This bed gets golden-hour light; perfect for Mediterranean herbs. Studies show talking to herbs boosts essential oils by nine percent. Mulching with straw locks moisture; each straw can save three droplets. A small airflow gap keeps fungi at bay—nature loves balance. Soil clumps into a soft ball—perfect tilth score today. Label stakes made from recycled chopsticks—budget wins again. Bed filled—micro-forest ready in just ten focused minutes. Switching to a bright terracotta pot for the geranium. Geraniums hail from South Africa—champions of drought tolerance. A finger-deep drain hole prevents 80 % of root-rot cases. Perlite mixed in: every granule traps a pocket of air. Geranium leaves emit citronellol—natural perfume and insect repellent. Pinching spent blooms triggers another flowering wave within 48 h. Finishing with rain-harvested water—chlorine-free for delicate roots. Now to the tomato lanes—indeterminate vines pruned last month. Tomato stems sprout roots wherever humidity tops 80 percent. Removing yellow leaves blocks early-blight spores from hopping. Tying vines with jute; it composts within a season—zero waste. Gentle shake pollinates blossoms; tiny gardens see 30 % yield bump. These cherry tomatoes are landrace seeds saved since 2021. Inside break—Kekova magnet earns fridge real estate. Kekova’s sunken Lycian ruins date back 2,400 years. Myth-buster: fridge magnets don’t change energy use at all. Tiny-living rule: one in, one out—next declutter on Sunday. Back outside: two jasmine saplings await roomy pots. Jasmine roots hate puddles—coarse sand layer solves it. Bamboo stake guides the vine toward the balcony rail. Hemp twine resists UV four-times longer than cotton. Watering with 20-20-20 diluted to quarter strength—gentle feed. Jasmine stems thicken 30 % in their first summer—give them slack. Evening scent peaks exactly at civil dusk—nature’s timer. Balcony anchor knot is a quick-release loop—one tug and free. Runoff water collected for later—cools veranda boards. Vertical thinking: every rail becomes potential trellis. Kitchen time—prepping artichokes for spring pilaf. Artichokes are unopened flowers; harvest before they bloom. Vitamin-rich hearts deliver bone-friendly vitamin K. Lemon rub stops browning—citric acid stalls enzymes. Tough outer leaves become dried herbal tea—waste nothing. An acre of artichokes yields about 9,000 heads each season. Rice soak: ten minutes trims cooking time by twelve percent. Baldo rice holds shape yet absorbs flavors—ideal for pilaf. Spring onions add inulin—fuel for friendly gut microbes. Induction hob here sips 1.2 kW—off-grid friendly. Fresh dill, “anethon” to ancient Greeks, perfumes the pot. Urfa chili adds mild smoke—only ~30 k Scoville units. Sage pressure cooker seals at 80 kPa—fast and nutrient-safe. Pressure cooking keeps 50 % more antioxidants than boiling. Ratio: 1.2 cups water per cup rice—steam stays trapped. Valve whistles at 119 °C—about 15 psi inside. Artichoke stems go in diced—fiber-rich and zero waste. Turkish spring pilaf mixes greens for a chlorophyll kick. Geranium petals are edible—maybe salad garnish later. Stirring clockwise coats grains—chef superstition that works. Basil leaves wait till last; heat destroys eugenol fast. Dill tips oxidize quickly—keep them on ice until serving. Cynarin in artichokes makes plain water taste sweet after a bite. Sink compost bin collects scraps—future fertilizer for beds. Timer set: four minutes high pressure, eight minutes natural release. Counter wiped during wait—clean space, calm mind. Window cracked open; venting humidity saves wooden cabinets. Rice triples in volume; pot filled only halfway, safety first. Pressure indicator drops—safe to open, steam smells of spring. Fluffing rice with wooden fork keeps grains intact. Artichoke hearts now tender—chlorophyll stays vivid. A squeeze of lemon brightens flavors instantly. Saving half a bowl for tomorrow follows meal-prep rule. Leftover rice forms resistant starch—great for gut health. Switching cooker off at the wall removes phantom load. Countertops stand 90 cm tall—ergonomic height for me. Hidden drawer stores induction plates when not in use. Blades washed immediately—dull knives cause 70 % of accidents. Steam-refreshed basil aroma blends with jasmine in the loft. Recipe tweaks logged—version 3.0 notes finished. Pressure-lid gasket lasts 150 uses; chalk mark keeps count. Stair LEDs double as gentle plate warmers—multi-function living. Serving pilaf in shallow bowls cools food faster. Each stair LED draws just 1.2 W—tiny house efficiency. Dill sprigs arranged like fans—adds visual height. Protein tally: nine grams per serving thanks to artichoke. Total ingredient cost sits under four dollars—budget gourmet. Cooling water saved for outdoor herbs—reuse mindset. Twilight outside—time for evening tea ritual. Ceylon black chosen—low tannin, pairs with lemony pilaf. Teapot pre-heated to avoid 5 °C heat shock. Tin holds 13 g leaves—ideal yield for two mugs. Steep at 95 °C for three minutes—bright amber liquor. Tray heads to dining nook; crickets begin night symphony. LED string lights draw less power than a phone charger. Evening tea boosts melatonin; sleep comes 30 minutes sooner. Cynarin from artichokes now makes the tea taste sweeter. Gratitude note: today’s reset rescued 14 seedlings from heat stress. Tiny-house interiors cool 5 °C faster than city apartments at night. Soft LED glow reflects on wood—the cozy finale. Signing off—small spaces teach big lessons every day.
