Hi I'm new

[kristy]

Hi, i am new to this site and am not a member if any other. I am interested in growing my own veg. I pottered about last year and managed to grow very successful runner beans and radish. i also grew some carrots that did grow but were small, planted onions but nothing came of them. i planted all in big window pots but my beans i grew straght from the ground. i really want ti make a good go of it and want to get my 9 year old interested as well but so can only do it when i have time as have a new borne as well. any hints and tips would be more than welcome. :

You can grow lots of veg in pots and boxes, as you've found! How much garden do you have that you can grow fruit and veg in?

Hello and welcome to the vine Kristy

Hi Kristy, Welcome to the vine. I grow what i like to eat. Start off with just a few things that you eat often. I find you get a good return on lettuce. Beans, tomatoes and courgettes. Fruit bushes are also a good investment if you have a little garden space. Raspberries go down a treat in my house!

hi scarlet, I'm not really a big fruit fan, i do like grapes but little one and other half tend to like tree fruits or tropical. I wouldn't mind a nice little potted pair tree though.

Hello and welcome Kristy..

I think you may have missed the boat for planting swede seed. Usual planting months are may and June. Perhaps you could pick up some plug plant from the garden centre?
