The land of grey peas and bacon

Ok I've never really been a green fingers type of girl so much so my dad was in complete shock when mum told him they was coming up next Saturday to help me with the garden. I want to start growing stuff like vegtables etc, I have a slabed garden so will have to use pots etc but what can I plant now that will grow?

Get yourself one of those little plastic greenhouse jobs and you can start planting in seed trays and bringing things on that way

Tyres are great for potatoes. Start with one tyre then as the shoots show put another tyre on. Keep going until you have for or five tyres and you'll have a lovely crop.

Get a plot down the local allotment cheeky, then you can have a shed for a quickie shag in while getting dirty in the dirt.

Fill it with soil and stick some plants in it.

Just pile the tyres as required

Put it somewhere where you needn't move it.

Tomatoes and strawberries work well in hanging baskets.

You can grow all sorts of salad leaves in hanging baskets and herbs etc.

Chilli's, garlic and onions etc.

I grew some fennel last year in wooden planters in the garden at work.

I would love a garden/ allotment of my own.
