Don't worry, I've already grown the children! They are still little 3 and 4 yrs but have started taking an interest in helping and growing things. The eldest has asked if she can grow carrots this year.
I'm a novice myself and scrapped any ideas of a vegetable plot when I realised I can't dedicate enough time. However, I have been thinking of getting some of the vegetable grow bags from wilkos:
"Wilko" Wilko Grow Bag Vegetable 2pk at wilko.com bag
My thinking being if the kids lose interest I'm not left with half the garden dug over or lots of pots and it might actually make me remember how much I loved gardening.
Do you think these are a good starting point? I was thinking of chantenay carrots, rocket, tomatoes and maybe peas (I've got bamboo to build a frame)?
Have you any other suggestions? We have a patio area that I was going to put these vegetable grow bags on, it gets a fair amount of sun.
Thank you - oh and I'll post this under novices too!
