Re: 4th year growing
I would hope your parents already go WOW! I would if either of my two had grown so much.
How much space do you have to grow stuff in? Do you have access to a green house or summat similar?
(As for the spelling...don't worry, most of us make mistakes, no-one will mind so long as we can work out what you mean. )

Re: 4th year growing
maybe look at some of the heritage seeds - for old varieties. or there are posh things, like globe artichokes, or asparagus

Re: 4th year growing
i tryed to grow letuce last year and i failed and also with onions
Re: 4th year growing
If you (or rather your parents) like salads then I think the best is baby-leaf salad. You can get all sorts of mixtures so need to experiment. But I think they are wonderful and much easier than hearted lettuce to grow. There are a few problems you can get but the main thing is to keep sowing small amounts every week or 2. One of the best things to grow in my opinion.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

Re: 4th year growing
It might be fun to grow "wrong coloured" stuff, like purple carrots & yellow tomatoes.

Re: 4th year growing
I did white beetroot, yellow carrot, purple french beans and purple brussels for fun.
The biggest wow I got this year was vegetable spaghetti, mainly coz I didn't think it would actually work, baked it like marrow and it didn't seem to change until you cut it the WOW it was spaghetti!!! but then again I am a small child in this middle aged body

Jungle Seeds do things like yard long beans and things. Or tea etc if you're feeling adventurous. Also Mexican giant sweetcorn. Purple carrots, red beans etc you can get from most places like Suttons.

Re: 4th year growing
It's a great site. I always recommend them. Fantastic service - one of those places where if you email them you get a very quick reply, usually from the owners, and they're always happy to give advice.Peggy Sue wrote:Jungle seeds looks interesting, will ahve to have a go me thinks
