Cabbage, Caulis and Sprouts.
I've decided to concentrate on the "easy" veg and stop struggling with the "difficult" veg that take a long time to grow, are also relatively cheap to buy and not my favourite things to eat.
I feel the same about onions and maincrop potatoes - they take loads of space and are cheap as chips (lol) in the shops. And there's never a shortage of parsnips, carrots, cabbage, etc in the weekly veg box!
I'd rather grow stuff that tastes way better home-grown (tomatoes, strawberries), goes off/stale quickly once picked (lettuce, spinach, peas), is expensive in the shops but easy to grow at home (herbs, green beans, sugar snaps, mangetout), or where I can grow more interesting varieties than are available in the shops (chillies, oriental greens, summer squash, etc).
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
