Cucumbers

come in handy at times

might of guessed you would come up with that pmsl

sorry i wont comment again. only to say that a marrows are an option also

but don't ask Mardy for advice on them

Potatoes are about the easiest to grow I think ~ we just out of curiosity planted some old tatties that got left at the back of the cupboard and sprouted roots ~ we have a big trough thingy ~ it's really deep and long ~ planted em in there and we have had potatoes growing for about 3 years from one small bag of newies that got forgotton

brilliant pinks my mum said shes heard your sposed to plant spuds for first year to "clear the ground" dunno wot thats all boutat least i think she said spuds

Hi Jo, Ive got an allotment althought I havent been up there much this year cos of the shop. I am determined to get back into it thought as I want to try some flowers funny enought.

Best tip is grow what the family will eat I got very carried away many years ago with all sorts of strange veg and most if it went to waste.

If youve got space then spuds are a great start as they store well in a shed/garage out of light and when you dig them up it really gives the ground a good dig breaking up the soil nicely for other crops.

Onions are also easy and keep well.

Beetroot also easy and pickles well

Beans/french/runner whatever type your family will eat

Cabbage brussel sprouts wernt too bad - Cauli can be a bit hit or miss

Raspberries are easy easy look after themselves

Rabbits are my biggest problem I swear they eat chicken wire for breakfast !!

Good luck

Sue

cheers for that scammer

Very much what scamer suggested.
Also swede are very easy, and store well.
I have loads of packs of veg seeds, PM me your address and I will send you an assortment.
Most of them are for planting springtime, but think cabbage can go in now for spring harvest.
