Give you the chance to have a go at a few things at not too huge an outlay?

oohh that looks good, will have to wait till the sheds arrive and get put up first to see if there will be room for it

Burlesque_Babe

there are some smaller ones as well. I was bought one of the small ones as a birthday present about 5 years ago by work colleagues. I gave it a go for 1 summer with peppers (crop: 0), chillies (crop: 1 that was horrible), courgettes (crop: 1) and it's now in a crumpled heap in the garden and has lay there for the last 4 years.......

i love having a go at gardening, but the dog keeps ripping the flowers up i plant so i gave up, mind you my gsrden is full of rubble at the moment

Claire - I would love to have a go at growing veg too - but we had a litter of pups last year that managed to pull up every plant in the garden!
And I also don't have green fingers so that might be a problem!

I buy my veg from supermarkets/markets! Easy and relaible.
But I can see the attraction of growing your own.

i ordered the free packs of beads which were in the grabbit boards a few weeks ago, i haven't received them yet, when i do i might just get some trays and plant them and see how i go

OH has just ordered one of them things....I can have a shed in return.

I buy mine from the supermarket...would be good if I had a natural green finger type gene but I don't.

I am watching charlotte's story on embarressing bodies...I hope its a happy ending!

I think there's a lot of veg you can grow in tubs and planters, I hope so cos I've bought seeds and that's all I've got room for!
