Ok, I have a very small garden which is mostly concrete and frequented by the dog. I've previously attempted to grow veg in a cheapy plastic greenhouse which blew over repeatedly in our very exposed hillside garden. I had to tether it to the drainpipe and fence but my my toms never ripened (think the season is just too short here in Yorkshire unless you've got a proper greenhouse).
So I need advice from other gardeners please :) my mum is a very keen allotmenteer and grows a lot of her own veg, but I just don't feel that I have the time or energy for her barrage of enthusiastic advice! I'm looking to grow a few staples, possibly one or two things per season, which require minimum effort for maximum return. I have my eye on a south facing bank out the back of my house. Which no one seems to be using, but I'm guessing belongs to someone...
So probably low profile too (I.e. no beanpole tepees ), oh, and I have a raging slug problem (in the garden, not personally ), so anything resistant would be good.
Any advice gratefully received, so far think I'll be putting in some Kestrel spuds, but that's as far as I've got!
