There was somewhere but not sure where, nothing wrong with starting a new post though. Do you grow your own?

I only have a courtyard garden so not able to grow much and to be honest never do but have done in the past. x

We've been to the garden centre today to price up the veg we want to grow .....did a little last year but want to expand this year ....we only have a small garden so one of our flower beds is now a veg plot and we have lots of tubs that we can use for beans, potatoes etc.

Our garden is too small to grow vegetable and although Dave has thought about it I refuse to give up my flower bed when I can buy vegetables!

We do strawberries, have some rhubarb and that's about it. Our garden is very small so not a lot of space to do anything and the dogs tend to take it over anyway!!!!

my garden is also very small but i have turned it into a mini allotment. i have left a patch for the dog and the rest is veg. last year i grew enough veg to freeze and last me through the winter. what i cant get in the garden i grow in pots and bags on the patio. my oldest grandson loved helping me last summer too !! dont grow certain things as we have a market twice a week and at the end of the day they sell everything off dirt cheap so some things not worth growing

I couldn't do that - as much as I'd love to grow veggies I'd hate to have no plants! I don't want to sit in the garden looking at veggies!

The only thing I do in my garden is admire the flowers that hubby has planted and sit there with a drink in my hand and either a book or my laptop!!!

Bah humbug :-) - dont have flowers in the garden, due the deer having a strong liking to them, any veggies we grow have to be under cover for the same reason. Vension is in plenty supply :-)
