You can grow an awful lot of vegetables in a very small space with the right management.
I went from a small patch to an enormous one thinking I could grow more. All I did was create more weeding and wasted space.
Next house we buy I'll be creating small raised beds and filling them up.0 -

My Dad, last year, grew runner bean, dwarf beans, tomatoes (3 different types), butternut squashes, pumpkins, marrows, corgettes, new spuds, turnips, carrots, beetroot, lettuce, raddishes, cucumbers, sweetcorn cobs, onions, garlic, and various types of fruit.
What's wrong with growing at least three different types of tomatoes?:D Just buy a packet of seeds, then swap some of your seedlings for different varieties with friends (making sure you all bought different varieties of seeds beforehand) and freecycle whatever is left over. You're right. It is addictive!RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Nothing wrong at all.
My parents are also in to tree planting in a MAJOR way. My mother and brother planted 95 fruit trees 3 years ago, and my parents between them have grown from acorns (etc) and planted out 190 oak trees, and 200 other trees, hornbeam and ash and others that escape me....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
My mum puts out a basket on her allotment (£5 per year rent - bargain!) with her excess fruit and veg with an honesty pot for money. She then donates the money to the local hospice.
Her favourite things to grow are butternut squash which she makes soup from. She used to have a vegetable plot in the garden but she loves the allotment as it has lovely views and is really relaxing.0 -

Get an allotment! £5 per year can't be bad! (but my dad got a letter telling him his was all messy and that he would have to get it sorted or he would be evicted! My mum is a bit neater with hers). They even have a little tea hut, it's lovely!0 -

You can make the most amazing curry from butternut squashes....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I had this alot in South Africa (where you can get all different types of squash for about 10p each!). Yummy!0 -
No i think banks are risk pricing 25%, the imf have it at 27%, and the BoE have priced 22% haircut with the £50m, liquidity backstop, So i think 25% over two years is bang on, with the bottom in 2010, and a recovery to current levels over the next 2-5 years, after that ie 2012-2015
I agree with the initial sentences but have a feeling in my water prices will not recover.0
