Commplete garden virgin here, we moved last year from a city house with no garden to the country with over an acre. DH announced that he thought it would be good if we grew our own veggies in the garden this year, in a kind of "over to you, little woman" way.
Can you just rope off a section of land and bung some seeds in ? Any top MN tips please? Is there a good book i can use - how to transform a piece of lawn into a veggie patch?
We are both unused to anything green, and don't even mow the grass, inherited the previous owners gardener. I would like to grow veggies and herbs because i prefer traceable foods, but is it too much for a garden virgin to take on ? DS aged 2.4 would love helping too, which is why i have forgiven DH for his sweeping statements! Also rather fancy keeping chickens in an Eglu, which Dh has vetoed until after my first crop!( but i guess that is another post). TIA
