Grow Your Own vegetables all year round

If you are looking to grow fresh vegetables to supply you all year round then you would need a larger space set aside in your garden.  This will enable you to grow a larger variety of vegetablesfor all seasons.

 

Remember to only attempt to grow vegetables for your particular climate, growing your own bananas can be a little difficult in England. Although that does not stop you experimenting at growing different varieties. When browsing different types of fruit and vegetables the seed packet will give you an indication of the optimal growing conditions and climate required.

 

Grow Your Own Tip!

If you only have a very small space to grow your own vegetables use a grow bag or planter and grow 2 or 3 cherry tomato plants against a south facing wall.  They are easy to grow and will add colour to your small garden without taking up too much room.
