Like Chiot’s Run, we bring our herbs into our bay window for the winter. It is a little drafty there, but they do OK.

I’m not trying to sell you anything, but I only use High Mowing Seeds. I went from telling my wife “Tear out all the grass, are you nuts” to wanting to grow everything!

Growing plants in a container gardening is a fun to do. And it helps you in many ways. They can beautify your home and add fragrance. They can ease your stress and tiredness. Some can even give you flavor for your dish and some can really be cook. So, it gives not just fun but food and medicine too. Be creative and design your pots. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can recycle. You can ever use your shoebox, can, crack pot, cup or anything that you want. It’s up to you. It should just have a drainage and consider the amount of space your plant needs.

What about slugs where the plants are outdoors? Any help please – our potato, lettuce, courgette plants (maybe sweet corn too) are being consumed by slugs and/or snails before we get a look in!!

What do you slice up the cabbage with? Just a regular knife? It doesn’t damage it too much?

I put my roof garden in the 3rd week in May. I’ve been eating all sorts of greens and radishes waiting for the tomatoes to ripen. Ohhh…4 early girls look about to explode. I think I’m at around 70 tomatoes in various stages of growth. The next 2 weeks are going to be the longest I can remember wating for tomatoes. It’s been a lot of fun growing stuff on the roof. I haven’t eaten anything this fresh since I left the farm after high school.

The jalapenos are growing too fast for me, the basil is jungle-like. mint, sage and oregano are everywhere. Beets and turnip greens vie for salad bowl space with the mesclun and radishes. I should have planted cucumbers. and some beans. and some of those nice japanese turnips/ tokyo cross. and some thai eggplants and tomatillos and little zuchinni and yellow crook necked squash…oooh…and maybe those little honeydews or the tiny watermelons…oops. Getting carried away.
