i have been doing the summer fete plant stall for the past few years. I would love some new 
ideas for plants that are easy to grow and that don’t cost a lot of money. Can anyone help.

    What date are we looking at?

    How about small trays of pea shoots and other edible shoots? People could buy them to put in salads or plant out.

    If you're doing tomatoes, do you have room to do courgettes and squash too? 

    Runner beans or dwarf beans in little pots. 

    Pots of parsley and chives.
