    What do you want to grow becks ? Can you use big pots ? I use pots on deck(big deck) as sunny there and can move them. I don't use garden .

    Peppers, Cabbage, Bulb Onions, Cauliflower, Carrots, Spring Onion, Toms, Rhubarb, Plum Toms, Sweetcorn, Brocolli, Sprouts, Red Onion, Kale, Peas, Beans and Calabrese.

    I used pots for my toms and peppers last year, but got so fed up with moving them round. Trouble is with my garden, the patio starts to shade early afternoon. Just going to have to choose some not to grow after all I suppose. image

    Nothing's at the front yet Geoff. It's just grass, but am hoping to get borders dug and prepared for flowers this year. image

    I would forget sweetcorn-you need a lot to get pollination-and sun to ripen

    and cauliflower-tricky,cabbage is cheap in the shops

    sprouts-you only a couple of plants-unless you love them

    carrots do well in a container

    Perhaps put some in containers at the front??

    Omg Geoff wheelchair image



    What about some raised beds at the front ? Is it sunny there ?

    I failed with sweetcorn . Onions I did in large tub, sp onion in pot, toms and peppers pots in greenhouse, salads I do troughs, I did beans in troughs but we don't actually like them so don't do now, carrots sound something I could try , I do beetroot in pots too .

    Don't really want containers in the front to be honest. image But it is an option. image

    Mistress Becks' planting list seems very ambitious.

    I like brussels. I did try to grow them once. I don't get a single sprout worth cooking. Much easier to buy them frozen in a bag. image
