Growing edibles in our front gardens
Picking this up from another thread, I'm really interested in the front garden growing project that Hugh posted about here. Looks brilliant. Anyone up for anything similar here?
I'm having a go at peas and beans in mine if I ever get the seeds to germinate and thinking of tomatoes too. I've already got rocket going on the windowsill and herbs, but its time to get more adventurous I think after reading this blog. I noticed a neighbour in my street has got some of those growing sacks and some beans started off and walking down a Ladder street (only I can't remember which one) someone has started a veg patch. Last year, I saw courgettes in Pemberton Road. Come on, anything Islington can do, we can do...too, can't we?
Hugh has offered to put me in touch with Nicolette which I'd be interested to do if there were a few of us who were up for it.
What do people think?

I've decided to forgo flowery window boxes at the back of the house this year (south facing) and devote my cills to herbs instead. Not only should they grow well in full sunlight, it's easier to keep an eye on them so stop them flowering and going to seed.

I have an empty meter-cubed bag here, used to deliver topsoil. Would be good for planting in but would be very heavy when full and would need loads of compost to fill it. Or nimble fingers could cut and stitch it into smaller bags? Anyway its here if anyone wants it. Message me.
