Shoot straight Johnny  User ID: 34799401 United Kingdom02/22/2013 02:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My only advice is don't grow tomato plants, as the constant whipping them in and out will likely result in them getting whiplash. Also don't grow weed, cos that's illegal, and its not really a vegetable, no matter what some people might say. The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

Dont take much notice of RSHS as they arent as good as the old codgers who are tried and tested Good luck |

I am planning on my first garden this spring but the area I have to work with is in the backyard and low light. Maybe 2 hours direct sunlight a day, the rest is in the shade. Does anyone know of a good vegetable(s) I can plant that would grow in less sunlight conditions? . |

Feb/march is the time to prepare the soil for planting. dig and turn over the soil to loosen roughly 6 to 10 inches of the topsoil. As luck would have it, our weather is perfect at the moment, as its drying things ot nicely - much easier than turning over thick mud. Get a compost heap underway, for natural fertilizer. You will have plenty of bio material from your garden later but you could add a few bags of good compost to your topsoil for this year. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29377269 United Kingdom02/22/2013 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi everyone need some advice about starting a veg garden, UK weather/seasons. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34935805 Post links or post advice all welcome. What veg or and fruits to plant that will last and keep my family going during rough times. Also please what soil is best to buy and how much space etc is needed for say potatoes. Going to start prepping this year, feel something in the air. Also am going to start getting used to living wild, start with 2 nights in the woods get my skills built up. So any advice on this would be great. I can start fires the old way but damn it was harder than i thought. On eating wild animals near me there is only field bloody mice, anyone know anything about what plants are good to eat wild UK?. Thanks everyone Dave. Plant marigolds between your veggie plants. They are a natural way of discouraging insects and worms. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34230411  Japan02/22/2013 04:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A good Garden need Preparation, i would upgrade the Soil first and this need min. two Seasons for the creation of a good Soil Climate! Look for Sprouts because they are relative easy to grow but need Attention too, you get a Feeling for Plants! We started with them after F'Shima and we didn't bought much Vegetables in the last 2 Years! And was very, very cheap, we bought for ca. 150 UK Pounds and got good Material. I had some Friends in South England and they told me a lot about their Networks where they share their Products, i am sure they still exist! |
