Where do i start

[Bartonio]

Hi guys im new and this is my first post.

Ive never planted a seed in my life as i come from a family of fussy eaters. to my family its not food unless its frozen or tinned.

i have moved out and live with my partner and now only eat fresh veg. we recently had a daughter and ive decided i want to grow my own veg so when shes older, and im accomplished enough to know what im doing and we can grow together. Hoping that if she sees where food is grown and where it comes from she may appreciate it. Hopefully not be as fussy as i was.

My problem is i dont know where to start im limited on space and will have to grow in pots. Im looking for some easy veg to grow and any tips & advice on size of pots and general things.

Many Thanks

A confused Beginner

Hi Bartonio!! Welcome to our forum!!

Why not have a read of the container gardening article that I wrote as an introduction to growing veggies in containers. Here's a link:-

Enjoy the vegetables,the taste is always great. You plant, you water, you thin out, you watch, then the best bit you eat.Then you tell people how tasty and easy it is. Marmite
