Default Grow your own veg!

In article , Alan Holmes

There is a programme currently on TV about growing your own veg and it is
claimed that a plot 3 metres (10 feet) square can provide you with veg all
years round.

Is that really possible?

Do you really think that programme is any good Alan, I found it silly
and frivolous. some good moments but generally a lot of faffing about
with the camera, with music and pictures of happy families digging in
their soil etc.
Didn't show putting up bean supports or pea supports. Not at all what I
was expecting ...........
I cannot believe that Carol Klein didn't realise that sowing seeds under
a magnolia tree wouldn't incur some drawbacks! She seemed surprised that
the roots had stopped her crops from growing full size !

One of those good ideas that have been hi jacked by the "meeja" types
again ... sigh
