Growing your own veg

Lol dont know if this is the right section? Does anyone do this? We are hoping to this year

I have done in the past, dont' really have a garden at this house though! Things like beans and tomatoes and peppers are easy, lettuce too. Potatoes and onions and garlic good as you just put them in the ground (I love bulb flowers for the same reason, no effort required!!! )

There are some good gardening websites that you can look to see when to plant stuff etc. Good luck, let us know what you decide to grow!

I do I do! all in pots though as I have a courtyard rather than a garden.
I always get a potatoe cut in half and plant it. I plant carotts, parsnips, strawberries, tomatoes. It's great fun.

Yep, started a few yrs ago with tumbling tomatoes in pots, started our own raised bed last summer, now we have our own house. Just bought our seeds for this year and hoping to start seeds on the window sill soon!!

The vegie patch last year had:
Potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, baby corn, peas, beans, brocoli, cabbage, onions, beetroot, celery, turnips, squash.
But then we are on a farm and David's father is keen to plant it all out.

Forgot, we also have strawberries and blueberries in pots.

Spuds, peas, beans, rhubarb, cranberries, blueberries, tomatoes, lambs lettuce, normal lettuce, aubergines (failed ) chillies, herbs, carrots, sweetcorn (another failure), gourds and sunflowers!

There is an organic gardening potato festival near us - it was last weekend - where they have 150 varieties of seed potato so we bought ours there.

The target is to grow something ripe and big enough to enter the village show at the end of July. Fingers crossed for this year!

I want to do some in pots this year but not sure where or when to start.

I want to all of the ones you're doing plus lettuce!

Hannah,

it's really easy, you buy the seeds and you stick them in and water. Sometimes it comes out sometimes it doesn.t.
The potatoes is the easiest one, just cut a pot in half and stick it in the ground, it will grow and flower and when the flowers are dead you can harvest and eat your new potatoes. Tada!!
Strawberries you buy yound plant in homebase and buy one of those special pots which are like a big urn but with holes everywhere.

What time of year should I start?
