The Edible Garden







My love of Alys Fowler and her Edible garden is no secret. Watching re-runs on the cookery channel, even taping and re-watching them is a carrot-on-a-stick to make me do the ironing when I'd much rather be pottering about in the garden.




If the lovely Alys Fowler can grow enough edible produce for at least one meal a day in her small suburban garden all year round then I feel I should hopefully be able to do so a couple of months a year. So I bought twelve packets of seeds for £1 at a carboot sale last Sunday. Most of them are for salad leaves which germinate really quickly. But hopefully even if I have to grow them on the kitchen window sill to protect them from the garden pests I too will have an all year round supply...

These aren't my seed packets but they look so much nicer...
