Home Grown Carrots

Home Grown Carrots on my Allotment

We've had an up and down life, sometimes money was that tight that a tin of beans seemed like a luxury purchase. Yet we've always had the constant of fresh, persticide free vegetables. Mowing a lawn twice a week takes more time over the season than a patch of potatoes!

Home Grown Vegetables

A quick overview of how growing your vegetables can save you money and provide a significant input to your life. Why pay out for something that you can grow yourself without too much effort? - Home Grown Vegetables

Patio Container Grown Vegetables

Not everyone has a garden or an allotment to grow their own on. You can produce quite a wide range of salads, vegetables and fruit on a patio. Don't forget, the top show growers who win prizes with their perfect leeks and large onions grow in containers.

From a lettuce to a carrot, strawberry to apples - you can grow nearly everything in containers on a patio. - Patio Vegetable Growing

The Greenhouse

A greenhouse is a really worthwhile investment for the frugal living gardener. Especially if you can get one for free! They enable you to grow more and extend the season so you start earlier and finish later. There's links to articles on how best to cope with building a second hand greenhouse so you can learn from my mistakes! - The Greenhouse
