I am growing cherry tomatoes and strawberries in hanging baskets, basil, sage, thyme, mint, rosemary, oregano and scallions in pots, and green beans, jalepenos, bell peppers, cubanella peppers, eggplants, chives, and tarragon in window boxes! It is going great so far but this is my first year with window boxes so I’m pretty nervious!

I have been growing a few herbs for 3-4 yrs and this year I have expanded. Currently trying out some sprouting seeds – wheatgrass,lentils, radish, bio snacky.

Also have some carrots,lambslettuce, various herbs, spearmint and,land cress. I have some others I will try as well.

Started off with plastic pop bottles with the tops cut off, using garden soil and cheap seeds from the local B&Q shop!

Now I am using recycled rectangular plant pots which I found at the local council tip (cost me a couple of quid for 5! – New would have been about 5 Quid for one!) Using a mix of soil and compost (from my wormery – left over food that my worms have been munching on!) and packets of seeds that I have got from the local Freecycle mailing list!

Food tastes so much better when you have grown it yourself! (and so cheaply too!)
