mine arent keen on basil..they only like the od dbit of parsley...but they like coriander..and bif adores mint! i have a seed packet of timothy hay grass..cant reme,ber which shop online tho..must look it up in morning!
now my cat proofings up i can use my garden but need some compost..wilkies have a massive bulk of it for about £3 and theres no peat in it
i need some major big pots cos the plants my dad did for me berore he died have all grown out of their containers and i need to get across to mums house and carry them back one by one:shock:
but the buns..i thought cheap flower pots but wonder if troughs would be better? the best thing is those cheap buckets like they sell in b and q for a quid...punch a few holes in the bottom and presto! trouble is i cant find any cheap pebbles to act as drainage anywhere local. and as for b and q well thats a way way off for me...so maybe a bus ride into w/ville with me mum when its cooler and ill go to the cheapy shop and get some buckets.
i bought herbs form asda online..and they were flippin organic! however bifs favourite mint came form wiatrose when i was with my mum the other day..its got two sprigs left for tomorrow..the frenchies dont mind it but bif goes nutsfor it. bandit will eat anything:lol:
i have a rosemary bush and a lavendar bush and several diff coloured buddleia my dad tok cuttings form and grew for me..he never grew anything before and these have deifed everything thrown at them. in my garden tho i have some flowers i did recall looking htem up as being non toxic but they spread like wildfire and atract loadsa butterflies. i want to grow honeysuckle up the catproofing but am scared theyd be able to climb the honeysuckle! the cats..not the buns...:lol:
i boomarked a site with organic seeds and i know you can get organic compost/miracle grow if organic is what your after.....best bet is to buy up the herbs already....easier quicker and less fiddly..then grow some seeds att he same time! jo siad bertie used o scoff all her herbs..once heed been with me a while she noticed herbs growing like mad! berties weakness mucnhie munchie!
good thing is alot of stuff is ok for buns and cats..phew! and of course my little grandaughter:lol:
theyre these plastic tubs fabric like and they say you can grow a crop of veggies on your patio or balcony..nicer version of a gro bag:lol:
ill find links ....
