Comments for Family Gardening http://familygardening.wordpress.com Growing your own veg and herbs, or filling up a window box - everyone can have a go at gardening. It's really not complicated either. As with many things these days, a good place to find information is on the internet, and so I'd like to share what I know.

They were the first to germinate too! I did a tray of seeds, sown in one of those modular cell trays. I did one row of tarragon, and other rows of herbs. Covered lightly with compost (but vermiculate is good for covering seeds), and popped the propogator lid on. I then stuck it on a North-East facing windowsill which happened to be situated above a radiator. That's it. Are your seeds within their use-by date? Hi silverrowan

If you need any help planning it then you might want to consider our website (www.growveg.com) which helps with orgnaising and rotating the crops. I've been using it for several years now to plan my front garden and, more recently, allotment plot. Will be interested to hear about your no-dig system since I've tried it but never 100% embraced it. It seems that you can do it 90% by just not walking on the soil and mulching regularly.

What I'd really like most is "deckchair gardening" which involves a Mary Poppins style of clicking fingers and bluebirds coming to help with weeding, but I fear this may not happen. Hope the allotment comes through soon. I like the sound of no-dig.
