Grow it and eat it
started with a group of local residents, clearing overgrown land, creating veg patches, chicken runs etc, sowing and planting etc - then returning to cook the produce. And I think he also started from scratch with creating veg plots and keeping hens by happymarion

small veg patch
to grow easy stuff to start, you can become more adventurous as you get more sure of what you ae doing. Good rule is to grow things that are tooexpensive to buy - peas, beans of all sorts, a salad supply, Cougettes,  Plan your plot into 3 or 4 sections 3ft by osso

liquid plant food
it's horses for courses, Pash.  I make nettle manure and use it where I think plants look weak and on the veggie plot for things like toms, peppers, haricot vert, borlotti beans and squash.  I don't put it on root veg as I know they don't like freshly by pash2

Ideas for planters on patio?
which they can eat and you don't need to worry about poisonous plants - many 'cottage' plants are very poisionous. We already have lavender in pots and a veg plot for the children. We would like the planters to be a focal point on the patio. Ok then -how by LucyLocket5

Talkback: Sweet peas
keep cutting them as you have a summer long supply of fresh, free flowers, and the more you cut, the more that grow. I have had my allotment since the beging of April and once we got it dug over and put lots of veg in, we decided to try 2 variety by Sweetpea, Melbourne
