Another lockdown novice gardener looking for advice

[Orangelover]

What can I grow as an absolute novice in lockdown?

I've ordered one of those little mini green houses and have a go at growing something in these lockdown times. My local garden centre does deliver and they have some seeds on offer. What could I grow in my little garden and how do I start? I was thinking herbs, basic things.. maybe even a tomato

Grow things you will eat. Salads are quick and keep going. And flowers like sunflowers, sweetpeas and nasturtiums.

You can buy tomato and cucumber plants, so they're already raised from seed. Most garden centres will have them ready to go in 2-3 weeks time

Perpetual spinach for salad leaves. Or Rainbow chard if you can't get spinach seeds.
Peas for pea shoots. Piece of piss. Soak a load in water overnight. Tip them into say an old plastic supermarket fruit or veg box with holes in the bottom and something to collect drained water underneath (mine's in an old mini brownie box sitting in an old plastic supermarket mushroom box ) on a layer of compost. Cover with another layer of compost. Wait.
Once they grow, cut them for salads above the first leaf. They come back.

Radishes are easy

For fliers try cosmos

Flowers ffs!

Spuds in a bucket or in the ground, plant asap and once the flowers die dig up and eat

A few of us are on the „2020 new Gardeners’ thread“

I would link but don’t know how - come join us 🌱

Courgettes are mega easy. Grow yellow ones - just because they're different! Need a bit of space for each plant as they spread a bit. In a small garden one would be enough and by the time it's romping away you'll be cutting more than you can eat!

Nasturtiums And Cosmos are easy flowers to grow, starting indoors.
By the end of April you can sow annual seeds outside, such as Clarkia, Californian Poppy, Candytuft and Nigella. All easily grown and give a lovely display.

Wow thank you so many ideas Will see what I can get hold of!
