This is the perfect time of year to think about growing your own veg.
I've regularly grown tomato plants in my porch and on window ledges, there are many miniature/bush varieties that crop really well throughout summer with very little attention.
Cucumbers, peppers and spicy peppers too as well as all of the herbs. My cats are sabotaging me now but before that I had surprisingly good success.
A small patch of ground can grow potatoes, onions, peas, strawberries etc and as I think we might be in this for the long haul it's maybe worth thinking about?
Oh and F1 Burpless is the cucumber seed/seedling to go for if you are afflicted. Horrible name but these were the only cucumbers that my Mum could eat - I tried growing them especially for her and she was delighted. Blooming ghastly name but it's spot on!
I am also looking to get hens again. I am rural so it's easy for me but it might be a thought for others?
