This year I am planing to grow, peas, runner beans, potatoes, tomatoes ( I have 3 different kinds of them) and some french dwarf beans too.
We have given up on radishes ( grow them 3 times last year and they never have any bulb, only really pretty leaves) spring onions (never really did anything) onions (got eaten by slugs), carrots (didn't grow big enough), parsnips ( grow only pretty leaves), and various salads (grow straight into flowers).
This is my window growing so far. I have planted some flowers too.
My pots are actually bottoms of PET water bottles. Reused twice now. Why spend any money on pots when you can have them free? I really like them because you can see how "moist" the soil is.
These are reused pots too. They are supermarket fruit "box". Tesco is selling strawberries in them. I am growing peas, runner beans and french beans. It is much quicker to grow them like that. I just put some wet paper towel in and then put seeds between. It will take about a week and they will have "shots" Then I will plant them straight outside.
I have again cleaned and cleared our garden. Also planted a few slug and snail proof plants.
Plants which were starting to have the "eaten" look I have put into some pots with slug tape. I hope that they will survive it.
The garden looks a little bit bare without any of my vegetables but next month it will look so much greener. Here are some of my beautiful flowers.
I love this picture. It will probably end up on the wall!
