GET GROWING... GARDEN your own veggies Growing your own veggies has always been a great idea, and now more than ever. Covid-19 has given new impetus to growing our own food. Eating fresh greens naturally strengthens the immune system and means fewer visits to the supermarket (reducing the risk of exposure). Plus, it puts food on the table for minimal cost ... you can satisfy a family’s need for vegetables with a veggie garden the size of a door (1m wide by 3m long). Starting small makes veggie growing more manageable. Grow veggies in pots or plant boxes on the balcony, patio or kitchen courtyard. Plant them among flowers in the garden or make your own veggie patch in a sunny space. What veggies want ... • At least six hours of sunshine, especially in winter. In summer, morning sun and afternoon shade are best. • Fertile, well-composted soil that drains well, or good quality potting mix with added compost and controlled release organic fertilizer for pot-grown veggies. • Shelter from draughts or wind, which dry out or chill plants. • A level site, although a slight slope helps with drainage. What you need ... • Buy-in from the family. Ask them what they’d like to eat. That’s what you need to grow! • Enough time … to give daily attention to the food garden, preferably five minutes a day rather than 15 minutes once a week. There’s a saying: ‘In order to live off a garden you practically have to live in it’. • Money to buy seed or seedlings, compost, (if you don’t make your own), fertilizer, pesticides (organic or chemical), and tools. • Basic tools: a spade, fork, rake, watering can and hose.
