My DD (16, 17 in October) stated last night, after watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, that she'd like to try creating a veg patch when she's finished her GCSEs next week.
I did one about ten years ago but am v. lazy and it wasn't a success.
I've just dug a bed so we have a nice patch of 'empty' soil about 12ft x 10ft.
Can anyone give us some hints and tips as to
a) what to sew/grow at this time of year
b) what we need to do to the soil (it's quite fertile but riddled with bindweed which I just keep pulling out on a weekly basis)
She's never done any gardening in her life so will need simple, quick-growing stuff to maintain her interest I would think!
Thanks in advance
