Welcome to Andrew's Garden

Andrew Aasen is a writer, gardener and home cook, with a passion for helping others grow more of their own food. Drawing on experience in commercial food production and years of hands-on experimentation with hydroponics, he shares practical advice for growing herbs indoors, cooking from the harvest, and building greater self-sufficiency at home.

His articles blend real garden updates, simple techniques, and approachable recipes, showing that fresh food doesn't require acres of land—sometimes it starts with a handful of basil plants on a shelf. Whether he's harvesting leafy greens, making pesto, or testing a new growing system, Andrew believes that every small success in the garden makes the kitchen a little more rewarding.

Why I Grow

I believe fresh food should be within reach of anyone willing to learn. You don't need acres of land to enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting your own herbs or cooking with ingredients you grew yourself.

This website is where I document that journey—sharing practical techniques, new ideas, and real harvests as I continue learning. If you'd like to follow along, you're always welcome to join the mailing list for occasional updates.
