Growing veg with little space
Can I realistically grow much in containers? I don't have much luck with tomatoes so thought I would stick to salad leaves etc, but also love carrots, cucumber, onions, sweet peppers, courgettes and beetroot in particular. I've bought varieties by laarobbins

Seed buying
to munch them like carrots so finding some really hot ones is a top priority. I have selected a chilli called Prairie Fire which only grows 6inches/15cm tall . The cucumber i grow is Telegraph Improved which is good value for money as some cucumber seed by Kate Bradbury

growing lettuce? RE; Kelly lamb i wouldn't recommend leaving your carrots uncovered until the frost has definitely past, they're tough cookies but not that tough. Also the lettuce you can sow any time depending on the variety buy heat resistant lettuce by Christine
