As we enter the new year and we start to make new years resolutions, I want to encourage you to start your own home garden.
Success starts with simple containers you already have at home.
I know what a lot of you will say: "I don't have the space," or "I don't have the time," or some will say "I don't have a green thumb—things I plant never grow."
It might not be you but the soil you are planting in; it can also be the seeds or planting materials you are using.

You don't have to start big. You can start from a few seeds and a container that you can keep on your verandah or balcony if where you live is a problem.

Let's make 2026 the year we grow our own. Start small, use what you have, and watch what happens!
