Title: Just starting my mini Garden project
Post by: Jeannine on February 11, 2008, 15:03:32
 Hi, some of you kindly shared seeds with me for mini veggies.

Today I am starting to plan this.

I want to see how much I can grow without a real garden(apart from the lottie of course)

My rear garden at the house is very  very tiny with paved areas and just a couple of very narrow borders, so it is a good place to try as I cannot cheat.

I do have a very small greenhouse in there.

I have fruit trees growing in pots but will have to move them out to the ;lottie i think.

Any ideas would be appreciated, I do have a couple of books and am familiar with square foot gardening.

For those interested I will keep a log or something.

They aren't square foot, more like 12" x 18" but I've just got  some of those wooden boxes for upmarket wines from a friend and am going to use them as mini raised beds, mainly because I hate to see anything thrown away! Do you have a wine merchant near you? Oddbins sometimes have them.

Hi Jeannine,

If my mini finger carrots don't go in my swop you will be more than welcome to them.  Grew them in a pot last year and they were very good/
