going solo

If you get really good at this veggie growing, Mazz, maybe the supermarkets will start buying your surplus stock for their shelves !

I'll watch your blogs with interest. Good luck !

There is nothing like the taste of fresh veggies grown from your own patch....happy gardening!

You won't be sorry, This is year 2 for me. Last year we had 9 sq. feet, my hubby was so impressed he made me 28 sq ft more. I love it.

Good Luck!!!

ps, do you live near me, lol, share and share alike lol.

He certainly does, Mazz. All the best for your new adventure. You've already been working hard, and I'm sure you'll continue to enjoy it.

Certainly do wish you luck! Great news about the new greenhouse. You will love having one. There'll be no stopping you....

I promise you will be thrilled with your produce! The best advice I can offer......well, plenty of good honest muck! And (my lesson hard learnt this year) if you grow brassicas - put nets over them to keep the flutterbys at bay! ;-) Good luck with it!

good luck mazz i hope this time next year im reading your blog on how home grown tastes delicious :-)

quite agree about supermarket vedge; and I work for the biggest supermarket in the UK. We have a small garden and have been growing in containers as a trial. Down by the head with a cherry tomato called sweet million. Carrots were highly sucessfull as placed them in containers placed at least half a metre off the ground, no problems with carrotfly. Also planted cut and come again lettuce and spring onions together in shallow container stood on an airbrick, not a slug nor aphid in sight. Tried sowing them straight into the ground and the lettuce disappeared overnight. Dissappointed with runner beans as slugs did so much damage the plants are only just producing flowers, think containers may have to be raised next year. Also grew potatoes in containers which were devine.
