Hi
I am Sarah, I live in North Lincs, just about to move in with my boyfriend who has a small holding where he has poultry (chicks, Ducks, turkeys and Emus!)
I am not only new to growing veg but to gardening in general so my questions might be extra stupid :P Really striving for a healthy sustainable kinda life with the farm (we are also wind/solar powered etc) so growing veg to feed us and my grumpy teen would be great, I tried last year at home and failed. This year has been a lot more successful, in tubs I currently have:
Potatoes - These seem to be doing really well and have just flowered, but possibly a bit crowded? :S

Onions – looking good (I think) not sure when I am meant to harvest them?

Courgettes – They flowered! And now look a bit erm unwell ..Did I miss the harvest?

My Spring Onions died when I replanted them over

Also not long ago planted some lettuces, broad beans, peas and possibly some more I can’t remember, at this point am not sure if they are working or are just weeds To scared to weed in case they are in fact Veg!

Also quick question, in my current house we have a beautiful young pear tree that my ex planted about 5 years ago we have had two years’ worth of fruit now and I am very sad to be leaving it, been advised against digging it up but is it possible to take a ‘bit’ and replant to grow another?
Thank in advance
