The high price of veg
As we live in London we have to make use of every available cm of the space we rent. We don’t have a garden but we do have seven window boxes and are currently deciding how get the most out of them by growing a little bit of food. I wonder how much rent we are paying per window box? I wonder if we will be growing the most expensive fruit and veg we have ever had…although no…Borough Market exists for that.
So to compliment Tom Smith (who had a birthday yesterday – happy birthday!) and Gemma and their ambitious plans for their new allotment I would like to present our plans on a smaller scale. Tom and Gemma have acquired a greenhouse…we have two Tupperware bottoms, one on top of the other. Tom and Gemma have a shed…we don’t have a shed. That’s where is ends actually. But I bet they haven’t got their bed directly next to their strawberry patch.
Warning: don’t sneeze near your plans or your plants fly away.
I am very impressed with the little drawings and it is a very good plan. Can’t you get a little bit of rocket in there somewhere
At least you shouln’t get any slug problems, like we have with the Spinach in our yard. And if you do, you should probably have a word with your landlord about why you have slugs in your flat.
I have heard that London slugs are very clever!
Well we don’t have slug problems yet although we seem to have mice problems. They are upset that we moved the stock cubes which they liked to have a bit of a nibble on. They must be hungry as they decided to have a little nibble on the tomato plants.
We do have rocket. It’s in a pot so doesn’t appear on the drawings.
no, that’s the mice.
