I love growing my own veggies, and I would love to have an entire garden and a green house at my disposal, but unfortunately I have to make due with what I've been give; which is a cement patio... Not much to work with there. However, I was also given a flower box and a bunch of flower pots in which to plant the seeds I have accumulated over the past winter. So far I have planted seeds for arugula/rocket/rucola, spring onion, basil and flat leaf parsley. I am also planning on planting dill, coriander/cilantro, radish and carrots.After about one week and two days the only vegetable making an appearance is the rocket. But that's not much of a surprise seeing how the seeds are covered by only 0.2 cm of soil. I can't wait to have all my herbs and vegetables growing in their pots on my patio this summer!

oh i have been planting too, we're just seeing the first salad leaves come out, it's so much fun for the kids! in cae you get plagued by snails or slugs, I found that dusting the soil with broken egg shells keeps them away...
Thanks for the tip! I haven't seen any slugs or snails yet, but will be ready with my egg shells the minute I see one approaching my precious plants!!
i have a deck out back and have planted some veggies in planters and pots. i'm waiting for my rocket, heirloom tomatoes, and salad mix to grow!
