i have loads of seed i could send you too, i have a 250ft garden and have always grown my own vegies, not always successfully, but trial and error is how you learn!

i have had to rethink my approach to growing things and also to what i grow as i now can not reach down to the ground, so have raised planters, an old belfast sinkraised up on bricks, a couple of old dustbins, a wooden raised trough(manger), and an old water tank which have all been filled with compost for me to grow things in. i presently have curly kale, peas, french beans, coliflower, broccoli, broad beans, chard, mixed lettuces, spinach, lemon thyme, normal thyme, basil, parsley, corriander, chocolate mint, garden mint, rosemary, sage, chives, strawberries, rhubarb, apple , pear, damsons, english cherry, black cherry, red and white wine grapes, gooseberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, red currants and asparagus all growing and i am planting the potatoes tomorrow. I don't do root veg much because i struggle to peel and chop them, so resort to buying ready prepared ones if i want any!

I made a great salad for supper tonight, mixed leaves, spinach, parsley, chives and corriander all from the garden, cucumber and red capsicum which i bought at the market in bulk. i then thinly sliced half a chicken breast and fried it with some bits of bacon, diced onion and some left over tinned corn kernals i had. i put this over the leaves and bits, then diced up a stale bread roll, quickly dunked the dices in garlic oil, once drained i dry fried them with rosemary and sprinkled over the top..cost around £1 and was delicious!
