Newbie greenfingers - Also mother to be.
« on: March 16, 2014, 15:18 »
Hi Im pregant and with all the GM, rasing prices and rubbish they put in food. I thought it better to just to grow my own. So any advice on tips on easy and quick growing would be great.
Thanks
:)

Hi, congrats :) what kind of space are you working with? Garden, allotment, container growing? What foods do you like to eat?

yes congrats, agree with both comments. salad crops,potatoes in bags,beans a few cabb/cauli for later in year. you may not have a lot of spare time once baby arrives, so avoid stress of having to tend plot aswell.

Many congratulations! I agree with the others, and keep it simple by choosing just a few varieties of veg you like, that are relatively easy to grow and are also productive for the amount of space you have available. Dwarf French beans, runner beans, leeks, carrots, summer broccoli (calabrese), beetroot, tumbling tomatoes and cut-and-come-again salad leaves would all be good and can be grown in big pots which will save you having to bend down too much. Potatoes in bags can be a bit hit and miss but worth a try. By the way, could you put your location in so we know where you are - thanks, and good luck!
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
