| This is what im talking about Silver. Now people who are complaining they have no space to grow vegetables can think again and give it a go. Where there is a will there is way. Or should that be..Where there is a pallet there is a vegetable! | |

silver* At the moment my solar powered dragonfly lights are hogging the balcony...Is this a pic of your bag silver. We have been looking to grow lettuce over the balcony to make way for leeks and onions in the trough. Did you buy them online? Cheers Floyd | |

| No the pic is from the site linked http://www.urbanfarmplanters.co.uk/products/hammock-grow-bagyou can buy them from there. you just need an old broom handle or similar length of pole to slide through the loops .I am using a branch cut from the garden for one and an old curtain pole for the other rather than buying anything. you then just need to hang the pole from your balcony leaving plenty room for your dragonflies  It is quite heavy when watered so maybe hang in the way avoiding dropping it on passers by .would do fine for salad .I am growing carrots and garlic in one and strawbs in another but would be good for allsorts will try and sort some pics of mine silver* | |

silver* This idea of the milk cartons is right out the top drawer silver* My courgettes have turned into monsters though sadly I think one has caught some kind of disease..its all those male and female flowers..I did tell them to use condoms! These babies take up a shed load of space so I hope you got it.. the flowers are beautiful though and for me its worth it just to see them fuly open in the sunlight. Keep us up to date with how you get on mate. Floyd | |
