    I'm limited to what I can grow in pots, so it will be Cherry tomatoes. french beans & strawberries, same as last year. It's not much, but every little helps.

    AS a novice gardener, I have bought some packs from Woolworths for about £3 each. They consist of a terracotta bowl, compost and seeds - one each of tomatoes, 3 kinds of herbs and strawberries.

    The bowls are fairly shallow so I am not sure how the tomatoes will do in them. I reckon that the bowls themselves would cost £3 so I have not lost anything and I MIGHT get some produce.

    Calley and others...

    I've really enjoyed this thread - shall we start a new one each month so we can let each other know where we are up to and share gardening advice/tips?

    I'd be happy to start off the February thread on Wednesday. What do others think?

    Sue I grew my carrots in pots last year, picked them as babies but they were very yummy :D

    I also grew perpetual spinach in pots too and that was a huge success.

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Anyone who wants to head over to Downsizer will find a fantastic article all about what you can do in your garden in February. I was amazed by it and so pleased that there were things I could be preparing and even planting.
