Trying this grow your own lark!

[Bellydancer57]

Today I planted some salad leave plants & some tomato plants. Gonna try this grow your own lark. Not a natural gardener but added to my exercise regime. Those grow bags are mighty heavy. Weight lifting???:wave_cry:
To be honest 3 months ago wouldn't have been able to even go to garden centre & walk around with my mobility problems. Now gardening! It's great. I am now on major snail & slug alert.

I am a gardener but have stopped growing anything cos it is just not cost effective ... they do taste better though It is really good excercise too ... burns calories as much as lots of gym activities. Good luck for a bumper crop xxx

Not quite sure how growing veggies isn't cost effective - it saves a fortune. We've a new garden (taken us a year to sort this after we moved in), but now have potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, chilli's, courgettes, a range of herbs (need more), lavender (to dry for crafts etc), and various other things. We don't have a large garden and all our things are growing in tubs or sacks. I want a couple of small fruit trees for next year, but have to decide where to put them lol.

I love growing my own food from seed , and really don't see why it's not cost effective. I've grown potatoes from what would hAve been throw aways that have seeded in the veg rack, garlic from a remains of a supermarket bulb, squash from seeds saved from one prior to roasting, tomatoes from last years surplus. Seeds are what a quid a packet and from these I have courgettes, sweetcorn, carrots, lettuce, beetroot and cabbage. Herbs from seed or the supermarket potted ones. A strawberry plant will fruit well for at least 3 years, and throw out suckers to make new plants.
Sorry off soap box, I love my tiny garden.
