do you have a garden

[sleekit-kate]

if things get so bad with the credit crunch,would you grow veg?herbs? potatoes or flowers,what about fruit,like rhubarb,strawbs,gooseberries.
what is in your garden now?

[Cockney_si]

I grow:-

tomatoes
peppers
chilies
strawberries
potatoes
carrotts
raspberries

but personally I wouldn't say it's my way of beating the credit crunch as I'm still having to buy veg locally.

If anything I'm doing it to help keep CO2 levels down....

Hi Kate. I used to have a greenhouse for growing tomatoes and cucumbers, but not anymore. Have 2 Apple trees, two Pear trees, and a Bay tree Grow lettuce, strawberries, potatoes, in large pots. Garden now has a pond, and 2 rescued geese, so growing veg in the garden is out of the question as the geese would eat the results. Schutz.

Herbs... definitely... not Parsley or Thyme though...

I`ve got half a dozen pots out in my garden with onions, tomatoes, chillies, chives, mini corns on the cobs and cauliflower, I did them because I`ve always wanted to have a go at it rather than the credit crunch

I have a little border at the front and once we grew runner beans. Because it was bordering on the pavement, people used to pick the runner beans as they went by.
Once I came home from work and there was a small group outside and they were reaching through the railings and as I approached they obviously were unaware I lived there and were beckoning me to join them in pinching the runner beans!!!!!
I soon sent them running!!!!

[logic]

I bet they aint stopped yet, ha ha ha.




Thought ya dint like runner beans,

[funnygirl]

I don't but I don't want folks pinching my stuff!!!!!

Mind you they were tough!!!! Like wood.

I have a herb garden. I grow cherry tomatoes (cos my dad gives me loads of tomato plants every year) and I have a cute little strawberry pot.

Other than that - everything else in my garden is flowers, shrubs, plants, ferns etc. And sweet peas - but they're not really peas are they? Just lovely to cut in the summer.

[sleekit-kate]

do you have a big grden salla

[Cugetit]

Grow most things but mainly flowers. We will have beans, peas, soft fruits (logan & raspberries) & strawberries, plums, apples, cherries, pears. Mrs C used to grow most of the common herbs but she doesn't have the thyme now.
