All I ever grew was some sun flowers back when i was a kid So I may be being a bit ambitious

I buy my eggs from a farm where the chickens are so free range they try to get in the car with you when you leave.

I can get goose eggs this way, and buy them for family and that. But I don't like them. Seem..sour. I keep telling the farmer to get some bloody chickens but for some reason she won't.

That doesn't mean we don't have a responsibility to make sure they have a decent standard of welfare.

[Vicky.]

As for growing own stuff, does my daughter planting a full bloody pineapple in the ground to 'grow a pineapple tree' count? Heh. That makes me remember, we still have to remove that. We left it as she was hysterical at the thought of it being taken out and its doesn't matter as such, but I wonder if shes forgotten it yet.

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!

Maybe so,(but they do make nice pets)but to treat them so badly while we have them is inhumane and barbaric, those chickens in those crowded cages would probably wish if they could,they were never born, and the way they are killed doesn't bare thinking about.

Yes we see that fun on a farm.

But this Factory Farm belongs to a Big Company
you have no say in it.

Its been that way for YEARS

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

Looks a good mix to start off with, Niamh will be on next week complaining about the caterpillars eating her cabbages

it's just so cool to get freshly picked veg from the garden where the pets pee all over it

My dog doesn't go down into the garden as she can't get back up the steps and the cat only pees in his litter box
