I’ve decided to try my hand at growing my own veg. I’ve been wanting to do this for years but have always been put off either because I haven’t had a proper garden or because I’ve been renting and wouldn’t be around to see the fruits (or vegetables) of my labour. This year, though, I’ve decided to go for it and create a garden-free and movable veg patch in a variety of pots. Last weekend, with a little help from my mum, I planted broad beans, rocket, lettuce, spinach, chives, dill, purple sprouting broccoli, yellow peppers, chilli peppers and basil. And so far, so good – after 10 days the only ones that haven’t shown any sign of sprouting are the peppers.
I have no idea when any of it will be ready, or even how much there will be (for my first attempt I planted 150 basil plants by accident). But I’ve surprised myself with just how much I can’t wait to find out.
