home / backyard gardening
Explanation:
Some more expressions that we use in the U.S. for this home production of vegetables, etc. You might even qualify it to '...vegetable garden' in order to separate the idea from 'flower gardening'. 'Home-grown vegetables/corn/food' would replace 'production' standing alone.
