I'm not sure if this has been tried before on AAM.
Post up what you are growing in your garden or allotment, windowsill or balcony, when you planted and then lets see over the summer what we manage to sow, plant, water, feed, harvest and most importantly, EAT
I'll get the ball rolling...
I've got 4 raised beds (1m x 1m), with another being built tomorrow (2.2m x 1m). I rotate my crops every year in each of the four beds and this new 5th bed will house some asparagus as well as some quick growing crops. I also have some established strawberry plants in rows, and some raspberry & black and red currant bushes that were planted as bare roots 18months ago.
I try to use where possible only organic seeds, plants, compost, mulch, manure, feed and so on, and I do my best to stay away from any pesticides, instead using organic methods instead.
