Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Grow your own food (without an allotment)
We have herbs and baytree, and apples from the branches that hang over into our garden.
In the olden days before having a garden we used to make our own beansprouts (mung beans and a little bit of water in a shallow dish, they sprout within days).
Any more suggestions for a lazy gardener?

You can grow lots of lettuces in pots. Also, I grow potatoes in tyres in my back yard. You half fill the tyre with soil, plant a few potatoes, cover with more soil. When the shoots of the potato stick out, you put another tyre on the top and fill that with soil. Repeat until you have a few tyres (depending on size of tyre, speed of potato growth, etc.) then remove the tyres and get at the produce.

Depends on your definition of lazy! I don't grow any food in my garden apart from the odd herb, but I did try tomatoes in pots one year and it was great - so long as you give them water and some food they do just fine. Have wondered about potatoes too, so very interested to see Keir's post.
I'd grow more veggies, but I just can't face giving the precious bits of sun in my garden over to them! -
