Re veg. lmao

Anyone else into this ?

I had some success last year tho not with corgettes for some strange reason ?

My peppers were gorgeous and tons of tontos .

Loads of salad leaves as well.

Wanna try aubergines this year and will try again with corgettes.

Maybe its cuz they were potted and not in the ground ?

Don't think a window box would be enough plus my landlord wouldn't be happy he's a greengrocer

No point, as the dog ruins everything in the garden!

Rocket and spring onions grow like s, and I had great successes with them.

got an apple tree that's doing quite well.

grow spinich, that's easy and proliferate and can use it for salads too.

grew peas but none got into the pot they were too nice.

herbs, I got quite a few of those.

Well I do like my gardening, Toms and Cucumbers in the greenhouse, the neighbours got sick of me offering them this year and refused to take any more

Apart from frozen beans, peas and onions I have nothing left from this season, had the last leeks a couple of weeks ago.

I will put my order in for seeds this week, and I will be sowing my seed again soon......lol

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

Iused to try and grow loads, but since both my Mum and myself had heart attacks, I don`t have the energy for the digging and Mum doesn`t have the energy for the harvesting either. Not only that but there`s bloody rabbits coming into the garden chewing everything growing above ground, even the bloody onions! Then there`s the blight rotting off the potatoes before I can dig them. Bloodt shame really as my garden must be as big as four allotments!

If I look at a plant it dies!

I walk into garden centers and plants are commiting suicide if I linger too long beside them, choosing a quick death rather then being killed slowly in my garden.

I am not green fingered.

Aubergines are not that easy, you can get lots of leaves but very few fruit unless you have a greenhouse. Dont let any plant have more than 6 fruit on it or they wont come to much.Use Tomato fertilizer.

I grow all my own veg organically...so none of those horrible chemicals!
