Me and the kids would love to grow our own food. We adopted a little veg patch on a communal green area in July and planted courgettes sweet corn beans and strawberries. Sadly nothing turned out right. We think it's because we had an influx of slugs caterpillars and pigeons. It was a disaster. We are not giving up though. We want to grow strawberries, raspberries, new potatoes, chillies and tomatoes in our own garden. Is this doable in large pots? We think they might be more protected in pots? Also, what prep can we do now in readiness for planting seeds in feb next year? Please help as we are determined to cook something we have grown!!
Ps we did grow one teeny tiny courgette and the kids were delighted. But someone stole it do we never got to have it.
