Thanks for your questions.
I would sow the Pak Choi and Carrots in troughs or window boxes and then add some Oriental Leaves like mustard, endive, rocket etc and even some winter lettuce or spinach leaves to go in the mix.

Kale Redbor and its green version Winterbor grow quite large so will need to be grown in a pot of at least 50cm in diameter, again you could plant oriental leaves around the edge whilst the kale grows in the middle to gain maximum growing space. Also there are dwarf varieties of Kale the most popular one is ‘Dwarf green curled’ and also if growing Kale, there’s one you must try growing for look and superb taste called ‘Nero di Toscana‘, it can be grown in a pot and has lovely crinkly dark green almost black leaves and tastes wonderful.

Swede have a long growing period and need to be kept well watered in hot and dry weather and they will need very large pots. Alternatives are baby turnips.

Thanks for your lovely comment, I felt my cheeks go all red when I read it. I’m really glad it appeals to beginners, after all I was a beginner nearly 4 years ago and have written about all my successes and failures along the way. I’m still learning nearly 4 years on, as every season I grow something new. Growing your own veg is a great big adventure and I love every minute of it.

Thanks
Tracey
