kitchen garden
Backyard produce plot
A kitchen garden is a small plot devoted to growing vegetables, herbs, and fruits for household use rather than sale.
The term emphasizes practicality over ornament—lettuce, tomatoes, basil, and the like, planted close to the kitchen for convenience: She picked fresh rosemary from the kitchen garden.
