I'm to busy to care for my garden......but each year it offers up awesome Santa Rosa plumbs, Thompson grapes, peaches, lemons, and Loquats a plenty.

If I only had a herb garden....... :lol:

Ok being serious now, I am growing some KILLER chilli plants this year!

If all being well, I'll bring some along to the summer meet.

I had a lovely herb garden growing round the side of my house, and then the guy next door moved, and a judge moved in :cry:

Otherwise I get the odd lemon, banana passion fruit, plums and feijoas, and hopefully grapefruit next year.

I have a herb garden but I had to dig up my veggie plot last year and lawn it as I knew I wouldnt have time for it this year. This year I am just growing some strawberries, tomatoes, green beans, blueberries and raspberries. I have some italian 'cut & come again' salad seeds left over from last year so figured I would grow them in any space around the garden and I want to fit in a courgette plant somewhere oh and some spring onions, they dont take up much space and are lovely fresh....

could this work????? How much could I grow with this????Anyone know anyone who has tried this????? I don't mean tomatoes.

I have three judges in my house....I was thinking this might be small enough to hide in my garage office!!! I don't need much these days!
