I grow carrots quite easily in raised beds on the plot. I have two beds full of them just now and I can only eat so many carrots. Smile I definitely like the idea of boxes but not for carrots.

How about some pots of herbs? Basil - there's several different varieties, lemon grass, sweet potatoes, a pineapple?

Well, I have ordered seeds for Dwarf Cape Gooseberries (May try a few outdoors as well) and I have put an offer in for  Trinidad Perfume chilli seeds. Cool Still looking for more  inspiration though! Smile

Just for info, the Trinidad Perfume seeds were £1.50  for 10 seeds and the seller had allowed offers. Now to my mind, if you ask for offers I will ALWAYS make an offer before paying the full price (which was reasonable I may add) My offer of £1.35 + postage of 65p would have made it an even £2.00. The offer was rejected and I paid the £1.50. Cool

I am wondering whether Dwarf French Beans will cease to be dwarf if grown under glass?

I’ve had similar experiences. Infuriating. Why both with the offer option if you’re not going to expect any.
Hope that’s a reputable supplier or you could end up with cayenne  Big Grin  Wink .

I grow dwarf beans under glass every year - they may be ? A little taller but they do very well for me.

I once grew climbing French beans up the gable end, just to get some use from it. They did very well. Last year I grew climbers and normal Frenchies outdoors. They both did well but I thought the tendergreen lived up to there name and melted in the mouth. No climbers this year. Rolleyes
