Title: Oh the pressure, what to plant.
Post by: Jeannine on January 24, 2010, 01:08:42
 I sent all lst night trying to decide what to plant this year and the more I think the harder it gets.

This is the first time I have been pushed for space.

The new lotties which we are hoping to get next month (2 if we are super lucky) are just 10'x25' each.

The old ones (2) were 23'x 180' each.

Clearly I have to be super careful but how to choose.. with all my tom, squash and bean collections I am going crazy.

Oh the pressure!!

ok i am going to be absolutley totally dense now, please dont shout, but i thought there was loads of land in canada as it is so big??? i am being stupid arn't i.....sorry

and, how frustrating for you to try and fit all that in to such a smaller space than what you had before, def grow beans, infact anything you can grow that climbs as you can get so much more crop for your space, so cucumbers, some squashes, tomatos. i try and concentrate on things i love to eat and varieties i cannot get in the shops.

When we lived in Canada before ou return to the UK we lived on ten acres, now we have moved into an appartment and taking 2 tiny lotties till we decide whqt we are going to do next,  but there is so much to plant and so little space, it is frustrating.
