Shes also in the past planted potatoes, this was ages back...will that actualy grow some?

We should probably have a little garden come to think of it as shes so into growing stuff. We would have to kind of half our small garden, and a big issue I think would be, theres only a few inches between the grass and the cement underneath! Mind, the 'few inches' was enough to bury a pineapple almost completely I guess

My grandad had a large veg garden, some of my most fond memories are of me nicking his peapods off the bush constantly and getting wrong for it but they were bloody lush!

I bought a starter pack of seeds for mine, they weren't expensive and I reckon you would have enough soil, just get some compost and top soil too. You should get her into it, it'd be a good interest for her

Aye, but surely stuff like taties need a hell of a lot of space to grow? We would only realistically grow peapods, potatoes, carrots and turnip, maybe brocoli if poss. As thats all anyone eats!

Good luck with yours
