I have a typical Chicago city lot, 25′ by 125′, including my house, garage and lawn, but I grow a ton of food in there every single year. Come with me into my garden and I will show what is ready for harvest right now.

I’m so happy to have you here, on Kitchen Garden Therapy channel, where I share my experience with growing my food from seed and practicing permaculture principles. My name is Slava, I live in Chicago, I am an herbalist and a cook, love fermenting and canning what I grow. My garden is a very small urban backyard, zone 5b, I am growing in ground, raised beds, cold frame and a little greenhouse. Sometimes gardening is viewed as hard and stressful, my purpose on this channel is to show how therapeutic and rewarding it can be. And how great it is to be at one with nature. I find it to be specifically important in urban areas where people are so alienated from nature. No matter where you live and how much space you have, you can start small and grow together with your garden, eat what you grow and grow what you eat. Hope you find my ideas and experience useful in your gardening journey.

congratulations on such a wonderful harvest you have a little bit of everything looking so healthy.
It was funny, because right as you were wishing your hair grew like the roots of the leek I was thinking; "my that looks like an old fashioned doll.," Funny. I love your garden! It is beautiful! What kind of peas are those?
Your garden is so beautiful , Mrs.Slava, as are you. Thank you for sharing. If I may ask, do those mushrooms make a good gravy or are the better to saute or place in soups? We enjoy all ways here😊An abundance of beauty and good healthy food growing😍
