Growing

Crops in pots
So I was wondering if anyone would like to share gardening ideas, pictures or anything plants-pots or gardening related comments.

I've been growing a new bean I also think I potted it out too soon and slight frost damage in one of the pots.
Still waiting to see if the recover. Blue Lake climbing beans.

I've also started a grow of salad and this first attempt has been successful. (I've a lot of lettuce to eat-and it keeps on growing)

I've a tiny garden and would like to give it a water feature any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated and useful as this plan I very early stages and is most likely on a bendy road of change.

Indoor pots and plants ...any ideas...? .....thanks in advance

If your garden's not in the shade, it might be worth considering a solar powered water feature. They're very easy to set up, eco-friendly and seem to attract a lot of birds .. . .

Yes quite small it is but indeed a sun catcher space, I've looked at solar power pumps.
Just need to figure how to use the pot .. ..
Thanks for the suggestion

Ooh that's so exciting seed to salad .. good luck in that , mine have gone massive , I've a few different types ,Rocket, gem, web
But didn't realise that fresh lettuce keeps in growing , I'm clipping salad leaves daily.
I was unable to upload any images can't seem to figure out how to made this needed code.
But my images wood be like,,, tiny,,,lots of
I have done how this year killed two cucumber plants, so disappointing. That pant usually thrives in this soil.
Like the idea of keeping potatoes in the waterbutt, I had them in the ground one year and it took up a whole boarder. This year I've just two plants and have kept them way back from the main part of the garden. Next year I might have found a waterbutt myself to upcycle. Thank you

I thought I might try tomatoes again. I gave up the veg garden a few years ago, it became too much, now Mrs D plants flowers.
Couldn't find a packet of seeds anywhere, all bought up by preppers I suppose , however, my daughter found some plants for me, from a friend with an allotment.
Have dug some pots out of the shed and bought a big bag of stuff to grow them in. Now looking for some canes, to grow them up.
I had great success when I had a veg garden. I hope I can grow some really nice tomatoes, nothing like home grown and fresh as a , er, fresh grown tomato.
It's my new hobby!

I grew carrots last year, they were in shallow pots and funded out small but chunky looking
I've ran out of pots and almost space too

Most excited about the "blue lake" type that have happened to display what can only be described as artificial leaves

Im missing the, 70 odd people he has knocking his door every hour or so.
Maybe a case of you say tomato, i say tomaytoe!
I wouldnt grow it wren, because avon and somerset police are very strict.
The chief commander last year said people can grow up to 3 plants, and hes not going to hassel the cannabis community.
Its mixed messages on if its legal to grow it i feel wren?

Well. you can't smoke what I am growing.
The tiny, wispy things I was given are now mighty, flowering tomatoes...and growing like a magic beanstalk.
It must be the home grown manure and the sunshine on the terrace.
