    What can i grow?

    Hi all this is my first post on here so please be nice. I had tell a few days ago an allotment but i have had to give it up as i work long hours and have a 10month old little girl who when i get 5 mins i like to be with. I only had the allotment for half a year and didnt even grt to grow anything . I am new to all this so i think i was running b4 i could walk. My question to you is what can i grow in pots and grow bags in my garden, i have got some tom plants that i am putting in grow bags, and i am putting strawberries in hanging baskets but what else can i grow??? can i grow mellons as i have seen them for sale at the garden centre also sugar peas. Can any one give me some advice please. Thanks Mark

    Hi there Mark,

    I am growing loads and loads in pots, here is the list!

    Sweetcorn 4 in a very large pot!
    Strawberries
    Beetroot
    Spring onions
    Cut & come again lettuce
    Radish
    Toms in growbags
    Cucumbers in troughs
    Carrots in pots

    All of these I am growing (have grown from seed) and this is my first year.

    Take a look at my blog and lots of others as they have some great ideas and this is how i have learn so much in a short space of time and I only have a small plot in my garden and in that I have more radish, beetroot, onions and garlic.

    Good luck with the growing.

      Last year I grew all my bits in pots, heres what I grew

      Runner Beans - large pot - 4 canes to a pot
      2 types of beetroot - small for salads, and bigger ones for roasting
      Carrots
      4 different types of lettuce
      Radish
      Courgettes
      Strawberries
      Garlic
      A huge variety of herbs

      Have a think about what you like to eat, and give it a go. You can grow potatoes in sacks on the patio and tomatoes and strawberries in hanging baskets.

      Good luck

        It's my first year too and I am growing carrots & parsnips in very large tubs - my ground is full of stones, strawberries, cucumbers, melons and aubergines in troughs, peppers & tomatoes in pots.

            I have to use pots - patio only for me. Last year I grew carrots, potatoes strawberries and french beans (climbing and dwarf). all did really well, especially the climbing beans and they don't take up much space on the ground.

            This year I have added garlic, spring onions, cauliflowers and courgettes.
