Getting out into the garden and plants for the window sill

Gardening – developing a green thumb

Encouragement to get back in touch with life is essential to well being, recovery and becoming alive.

Anything that promotes this gets my vote.

Don’t be shy.

I’m sure posts with simple instructions at a very basic level up to more advanced advice and discussion would be very useful.

It’s the right time to start putting a few seeds into yogurt pots to be replanted later into something bigger. Ingredients for the kitchen or a pot plant to brighten up the home and window sills.

So what seeds, keep it simple.
Onions, beans, herbs, potato, what do you suggest?
Give me full instructions, educate me.

Think big, become a Stroke Agriculturalist.

Watercress. Bags in the shop go off before I can eat them so I grow it and cut what I need. The only essential is to sit the pot in a saucer of water.

I also grow rocket and other salad leaves.

We tend to grow a lot of veggies. Hubby currently planting seed potatoes which he has had chitting in the potting shed for weeks. He digs a trench, puts them in a distance apart then ridges the soil up. Every day he waters them - they like water & we have numerous water butts. Then we sit back, watch them grow & enjoy them with lots of different meals at appropriate time. We are fortunate to have a decent sized garden so plant earlies, 2nd earlies & main crop. Yum.
