Title: Veg plot in pots
Post by: Georgie on May 15, 2006, 22:27:24
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. :)

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!

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
