Ok guys not only am i a virgin veg grower i'm also internet incompetent! but I need a lorra lorra help!! Finally persuaded my husband to build me two 6 x 4 (thats length x width!) raised beds ( i'm negotiating the third) and (bless him) he's spent two days putting together a greenhouse that i bought from focus DIY ( I posted this somewhere else on this site, hoping somebody would reply and I'd get an idea how to work the site!!)
I have a kitchen (quite large, luckily!) full of things growing! peppers. tomatoes, chillies, sweetcorn, lettuce, rocket, asparagus, oh gosh I could go on!! and on!!
Also in the first bed i've planted peas (Feltham first), broad beans, and some first early spudss. The second bed I'm planning carrots, onions (read about companion planting) beetroot, leeks, and parsnips. In place of the third bed (don't want to push my luck)! I thought I'd fill the space with large pots and grow bags and just grow everything else! i.e salad, spring onions, pak choi etc
and last but not least i envisage the greenhouse being inundated with tomatoes, chillis, peppers, courgettes etc, etc, etc.!
Does this all sound like too much!! it looks ok on paper ( yes I have been that anal about it) I'd just like a bit of encouragement, and as i told my doubting family - if it all ends up on the compost heap there's always bizzy lizzies next year!!!!
