I should add all in pots so I can pre empt a dreadful summer and move them around!!

Tried my homegrown shallots and potatoes for the first time today, they were delish. It's amazing how much money you can save growing them yourself. I bought a packet of sweet pepper seeds for £1.50 and they sell them individually in the supermarket for 90p!

oh, i just realised i've not been down the greenhouse this evening. i got in late from work and then after cooking the tea we rushed off to ikea to get a cupboard for the bathroom.

i started growing the lemon tree when i was about 5 - so about 30 years ago. the seed was in a normal lemon that me and my mum were using to cook with, but it had started sprouting, so we planted it in a pot and so here it is, still only about a foot tall and never fruited in all this time! we kept it outside in the summer and inside in the winter. - nowhere exotic - derbyshire.

1 ONION

I've grown not one vegetable this year thus far.

Oh Victoria S

Boringly but truthfully, I plant a couple of garlic cloves at the base of my rosebushes, which keep greenfly and other sticky aphid horrors off the latter.

I am growing basil, coriander, runner beans, carrots, spring onions and mixed salad leaves.

Blimey!

Round here they sell all that stuff in the shops!

We have a market gardener just around the corner, he has fields of stuff, his own shop, and it's cheap.

*Points and laughs at gwumpy guts*

Nope, but my Buttercups are coming on a treat

i picked my first cucumber this evening. a magnificent 8 inches and reasonable girth too.

beans, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, strawberries. But i think i am growing the bonsai varieties. nothing is over a couple of inches tall so far!!!

I used to grow tomatoes and strawberries. I was fine with eating them, quite delicious actually, especially the strawberries but it all came to an end when I was watering the strawberries one day and I saw what had been crawling around on them. I'm completely aracnophobic and I just couldn't bring myself to eat them ever again. I don't bother now.
