I do most of my things in tubs actually, as I haven't really got space for a proper veggie patch. You can grow veg anywhere so long as you pick the right fruit and veg to do it with - you want high yield varieties for small spaces - some things are better than others in this regard i.e. hanging basket tomatoes (or indeed strawberries) can be a complete winner.

Just pulled up my onions and potatoes the other day and they have done much better than I thought !

The good life here we come ! (I draw the line at chickens though !! they smell)

Have you ever kept chickens Fi - mine NEVER smelt. You just have to clean them out regularly and give them enough freedom.

The only veggies that weren't eaten by the caterpillars was our leeks which are growing nicely. We have a couple of sprouts the size of a small button and not much else.

Think we will concentrate on runner beans and tomatoes next year.

we had loads of caterpillars this year we just wiped them off and squished em but we were told to spray the cabbages with a washing up liquid mix it puts em off ..just wash the cabbage well after....or cover them with an old net curtain or some fine garden net

sooooooooooooooo,

what did everyone grow this year? I got into gardening early spring and after doing my garden I got the Which? veg guide, I was gonna get a wooden trough for tattys and dig some beds but alas with my horrificly huge pile of coursework I just didnt have time so I have some pots on my patio, strawberrys, peas, chillis, rosemary, lavendar and parsely.
Peas and strawbs doing well, chilis havent really grown, is that normal? still samll green leaves?

what have you all been planting?!

My strawberries are huge this year

the herbs are doing nicely but we are not growing veg this year. Got too many weddings and events to get any spare time for the garden
