Grow your own Salad Vegetables

I've a SkyDrive (now called OneDrive) setup to share books with others, anyone wants access send me an email address (make a new one for the purpose)

All sorts of stuff in there including 'Square Foot Gardening' which may be of interest.

And i have decided to grow Carrots in large containers 40cm deep, 1metre long 40cm wide, I have 3 grow bags ready for my runner beans when they are ready to sow, i have 5 large pots for tomoatoe plants, unfortunately i cant have anything hanging as i am not allowed to drill holes into the building wall.

My tip here would be to make sure you site them in a sheltered spot and anchor them down really well. I had one at my previous house which was blown over when it was stuffed full of my own seedlings and bought in young plants in little pots. Pots and compost everywhere. All the labels chucked out so no idea what was what. I stood in the wind and blinding rain and cried . I managed to save a lot, but a lot was ruined and I had to re-do most of the seeds. At this house this winter the wind has ripped to shreds both the cover on our swing seat (in future we'll remove the new one I've yet to make/buy in the winter) and the netting on our trampoline. Anything that can be blown about, will.

you could probably use a fixative like No More Nails to fix to the wall. Damn good stuff IMHO. There are other brands available.

My tamotoe plants are growing nicely, i have a garden box with lettuce growing niceley, runner beans are all growing rapidly, Radish and beetroot are all growing and my Peas are nearing 1/2foot so far. Quite pleased with my efforts. Just glad no one in my apartment building does out to the back of the building,
