"Rusty Hinge 2" wrote in message k... The message from Gordon H contains these words: Hello folks, I am Gordon, age 74, widowed 13 years, living on the outskirts of Manchester. Three grown children, son in Australia, daughter in California, elder daughter a few miles away from here. Welcom to the madhou^h^h^h^h - er - mudhouse. Three grandchildren spread around the world. ;-) That sounds unfortunate. When my wife was alive, I grew many vegetables, but have found it unrewarding since living alone. This year I planted half a dozen runner beans and some salad bowl lettuce, because I like tender beans for stir-fries, and because the lettuce provides a steady supply of leaves which are sufficient for my needs. I have also re-instated my resolve that half an hour in the garden each day can keep it tidy, after a period of neglect, I'm afraid. We all make ourselves similar promises... I have only a small garden, 90ft from front to rear of my property, and mostly it has been planned as low-maintenance as I have grown older, with shrubs and perennials as I have become ancient. I was tempted 'out of cover' by the thread on Physostegia, the first contribution I have been able to make since reading the group for a few weeks. In the current situation of increasing food prices and in the interests of health, I will be looking for suggestions perhaps for winter vegetables. I have forgotten most of what I once knew! I'm sure your basket will be overflowing with suggestions. I'll start with leeks. ....and kale plants |
