Veggie's random garden

I can grow more than enough "easy" veg and fruit but I've always struggled with root veg, including spuds, and brassicas. A few carrots in buckets, maybe some tubs of early spuds and some kale, I can do, but growing them in the ground just leads to disappointment.
If times get hard, I'll be living on courgettes and beans.

P reckons during the summer that's all he gets given on his plate

I must admit to feeling sometimes the garden needs so much time that we forget to enjoy it.  We're not ones for BBQs as such but like the occasional picnic without guilt that we should be 'doing' instead of sitting in the sun.
