Walliver 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I want to grow some vegetables and I want to do it now. However, I'm aware that it's not really the best time to start planting most things. My parents told me about winter cabbages that can grow in the winter, are there any other foodstuffs that I can cultivate over the colder months? Has anyone who grows their own food got any tips for starting a veggie patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 21684 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Look at where the sun is in your garden, you may have loads you may not, this will dictate where you put certain veggies. Also look at the soil, if its good then cool, if not then it will need feeding, if so its good to start now ready for next year. Have a look at this webby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Growing vegetables is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First of all, take a good firm grip of your hoe. Secondly, dont be surprised when your tools get dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Me mam grows her own tatties, toma's and carrots. She puts seeds into the soil, waters them and magically they grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieshandy 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 We do a bit of this sort of thing, but all pots since our garden is all gravel and slabs. Which is a good thing. Got some canny lettuce, rocket, peppers, tomatoes (both in a wee greenhouse) and a few chilli plants, one of which is absolutely laden. Also got a canny few herbs on the go. If you want to go down the pot root, I'd say good drainage is probably the biggest thing. Waterlogged plants generally don't do very well at all.
