Any gardeners? Are you planting more than normal?

[LooseleafTea]

I thought rather than panic buying I would try and enjoy the garden a bit more and make it a bit more productive as it’s good anyway for diversity etc and I just bought lots of heritage seeds from the Real Seed Company that sounds lovely.
Whether or not I’ll manage to grow much is another matter! as our soil looks really poor and i haven’t much energy to sort it but I might try some gro bags to start with and like the idea of doing something positive as we all love homegrown veg.

So far I’ve ordered peas, French beans, Brussel sprouts and chard! No particular reason other than like them

@LooseleafTea I bought mushroom compost online from The Compost Shop this week & have been really pleased with the quality of the bags I’ve used this weekend.

I would plant potatoes. You only need a few to get a huge crop.

Rainbow chard is pretty effortless too.

Potatoes, spinach and courgettes will all give a good return for minimal money and effort.
