Well, I thought I'd show you my tiny plot. I was really pleased I'd managed to squeeze everything in. There are Cape Gooseberries, Garlic, Garlic chives, Chives, Toms, Celery, Runner beans, French beans, Borlotti beans, Thyme and Parsley. Then I remembered I still have to make room for Cucumbers and Basil! ::)

Georgie, it has to be said, for a small plot, you certainly know how to pack it in and make it look amazing! I feel it perfectly reasonable for us to expect you to post more photos as the summer presses on! ;D
Awww Emma, thanks. ;D Obviously I'll never be self-sufficient with such limited space but I do get a great deal of pleasure out of growing a few bits. Happy to post more pics as the season goes on - might help people get to sleep if nothing else. ;)

They look lovely! Many congrats!! (and will they be joined by a courgette and some salad?) tip? I put all mine in 'saucers' making sure there's a drop of water in them....keeps ants away. :)
A picture, Gerorgie!
Fantastic what you do with your space G ;D ;D ;D
Nice to be able to nip out and pick fresh stuff, however its grown!
Watch that Cape Gooseberry, if it gets warm they can be rampant, a friend grew one in a 6x4 cold greenhouse one year and needed a machete to get in!
;D
Thanks Everyone.
I grow the salad in the mini greenhouse, Alishka, radish, leaf salad and spring onions, to keep the slugs away. I'm the only one who likes courgettes so I don't grow them. There's also spinach, watercress, mint and raspberries on the shady side (in pots), and beetroot, gherkins and sage in the only border.
Yes I know, Saddad, I grew them last year. They reached about 5 foot and cropped really well. ;D
