A friendly home and garden magazine — practical guides, honest budgets and lots of tomatoes.
Rosa Bell grew one tomato plant on a fire escape in 2012. It produced exactly four tomatoes. She wrote about every one of them. Porch & Plot grew from that blog into a magazine for people who love their homes and gardens.
Our guides are tested in real gardens and real homes — with real budgets.

Tomato varieties tested
Example figures for a fictional magazine.
Rosa is a master gardener who grows 40 kinds of tomatoes and names none of them.
June keeps six hens, three raised beds and one very loud rooster (illegally, she admits).
One raised bed turned into four. My kids eat cherry tomatoes like candy now.

The small-space guide made my 500 square feet feel twice as big.

I stopped overwatering. Seven plants and zero funerals this year.
