    vegtrug - what to grow please?

    Hi, I have just bought a 1.8m Vegtrug (manger trough with a choice of 3 covers) and wonder if anyone could advise me on what veg to grow in it please?

    I very much want to include a dwarf variety of peas but do have problems with mice in the garden as I live next to farm outbuildings.

    many thanks

      If you stand the feet on half bricks in troughs of water then things like slugs and mice will not be a problem although rats will splash through if tempted and squirrels could just Tarzan in. Your covers should help if you seal them to the trug carefully.

      PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!

        Many thanks to you both for the advice.

        I had not thought of strawberries!

        The tip on keeping mice etc out is very useful.
