I live in a top floor converted flat with a communal garden. So having your own creative input can be a little tricky when sharing with others. But with the recent weather change I have felt quite inspired to grow my own herbs on our “balcony” (perhaps you get an idea about what it looks like from my blog image with my cat Bubbles)
I’m starting off small but it’s pretty exciting! I have done rocket in the past which grew fantastically well. It got a heck of a lot of sunlight as I first planted it from seed when I was camping in Port Douglous, Australia for three months. Sometimes shop bought rocket can be disapointing however the taste of mine was nice and peppery- as it should be.
At the moment I just have a modest herb garden comprising of rosemary and basil. Perhaps I’m a little cautious because I want to do it the exact right way with the perfect amount of shade or sunshine. That’s why I googled ‘Grow your own veg courses’ and found a couple of interesting and helpful articles by The Ecologist and even The Times. There I found that The Soil Association has names of centres that give half-day courses. I am intrigued. Watch this space
