edible container garden" ISBN 1 - 85675-089-2

Greetings all!!!!

And what a nice bunch of people seem to be on this forum. Paradise
regained!

I was wondering if anyone could advise me. I'm planning on growing some
veg
for the first time next year, but it's going to have to be in pots in my
back yard. I live in Bury in the Frozen Northern Wastes (Lancashire), and
I'm not really sure which veg would be best a) in pots and b) in the
North.
I was thinking of growing some peas up a trellis, but I'd like to do some
root veg too. It's probably a bit cold for tomatoes etc unless I get a
lean-to greenhouse. Another thing is, I have a lot of slugs and
(particularly) snails. I'm a vegetarian so I can't eat the snails!!! ;-)

Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

Take care all,

Andrew
