Digging a vegetable Plot

What not to grow

out of the ground and tasted of nothing when cooked. Now you'll be thinking it's just me, but I grow lovely carrots, tomatoes, courgettes, chillis, peas, beans, parsnips, potatoes and salads. I just can't seem to be successful with anything more by Green Magpie

but then were almost all decimated by blight. I've only had about 10 little tomatoes from four plants, despite around 15 trusses in total. Try growing carrots in large pots. I've done that this year and have had an excellent crop. by Lorna
