Morning
I would really like to strat growing a few of my own vegetables ,not only to save money but to help show my DD where food comes from and how it grows.
We have a small garden, but are not allowed to dig it as it is a rented property.
Does anybody have any ideas, and when I should start. Growing up my dad and grandad always had our garden full of vegetables and still grows some now, and I think he would be proud that I managed to do it.

yes yes yes
we have a tiny garden and do it
you can put salad, totatoes maybe some strawberrys in grow bags
you can even grow spuds in and old bin (well if it wouldnt take up all the room)
herbs would be great in pots too, theres also loads you could do on your window sills how about painting some little pots with your daughter and planting cress seed in wetted cotton, cress is great for kids as its so fast growing as are things like bean sprouts
my ds is only 18 months but we spend ages showing him all the plants in our house/garden and down at grandads allotment, and well to be honest he dosent seem that impressed but hopefully he'll grow to love growing ittwins on board0 -
