I`m limited with space so I find that herbs are the best way to add a lot of flavour to a meal.I have parsley,sage,thyme,tarragon and bay at the moment.

The vegetable that I like really fresh, is runner beans and I grow two "wigwams", totalling 38 plants, every year.

By growing my plants from beans kept back from the previous year, I can phase their development, so that I have fresh runner beans throughout the season.

I also grow tomatoes, cucumber and courgettes.

 

Potatoes are too much like hard work, as are greens.

 

I have also tried soft fruit ,such as raspberries, strawberries etc, but tend to suffer bird and bug attacks.

Fill your boarder full or marrigolds this year - with impending drought orders your attempts may end in tears, and with marrigolds you can eat'em if really pushed (and they are hardy and weather resistant).

I have a load of veg in .. I always do ..

 

As to the impending water restrictions , buy a 55 gal plastic drum , and start filling it NOW with your bath water , and keep it topped up with your bath water . All the muck and belly button fluff , will either float , or fall to the bottom .

I think you'll find that even if you have a hosepipe ban you can still fill a water butt with a hose.

I spend most nights Up there in the summer its bloody fantastic.... and the local council charge £5.00 per year. the land was bequeathed to the village by a benefactor with a covenant on its transfer which prohibited its development. The £5.00 pays severn trent water the annual water bill. ! When i took it up 8 years ago there were 14 of us now we have 46 and 17 on the waiting list.
