I moved house in march and decided to have a vegetable garden.
i didnt prepare the soil very well i just dug a load of manure and compost through it.
i then planted potatoes, sprouts, cabbage, peas and sweetcorn.
i also had tubs containing lettuce and other salad leaves, spring onions and strawberries and 4 tomatoe plants.
I have a large tub containing herbs too.
The peas did ok they didnt grow very tall but we did get a few meals out of them, but i grew them from seed so i was quite pleased.
the potatoes did ok as well but i think i planted them a bit late as only just getting small potatoes.
the cabbages are still small too
the spring onions look more like chives they are tiny.
my tomatoes had loads of fruit on but most of them stayed green and then gt blight.
the sprout plants seem to be doing ok but no sign of sprouts yet...is it too early?
The swetcorn is doing well i only planted 4 but im lookig forward to trying them.
we only got about half a dozen strawberries from 10 plants which as really disappointing.
Please Can someone give me some tips and advice on what i id wrong an what to do to make next year more productive.
thanks
