For the past two years I have been growing my own, surrounded by neighbours and a busy road, in a town of 11k people. The bumble bees didn't move into my homemade nest, but all sorts of pests did find my garden and ate all they could. I've managed to grow peach, cucumber, strawberry, parsnip, tomato, beans, peas, onions, red beets, nose hair, squash, radish, carrots, spinach, lettuce, potatoes, apples, red currant, black currant, grapes, blackberry. It's a hobby, but PottyPot is my hero

By letting me pick your brain okay? No, seriously, where do I sign up as an apprentice? Wax on, wax off.
