hey i am too trying learn more from this website.....this forum is really usefull for new gardeners.

If it is vegetables you want to grow then the easiest tend to be carrots, lettuces, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans.
If you want to grow flowers then try growing sunflowers, sweet peas, marigolds, pansies and fuchsias. These are all simple and easy to grow from seeds and are beautiful flowers.

Enjoy.

Hi all,
Like you guys I am also new to all this, the extent of my green fingered talents stretch as far as a couple of tomato plants in grow bags which did very well however this year I'm going to try and grow tomatoes in grow bags again, potatoes in sacks, apache chillis in pots and onions in the ground. My wife is going to grow some herbs and also some Californian peppers... All help and advice is welcomed so watch this space for updates !!
