Here is my list for this year: Basil - keep it watered Beetroot - why? I'm pretty sure it's the devils poos Borage - I grew that from the NW Little Garden series and was the only really good success. Very big now with lots of flowers that bees love, I have no idea what else to do with it but a welcome addition to the compost Broccoli - by the time the LG things come out it will probably get too hot and the plants will bolt - then there are the butterflies.. Capsicum - easy to grow Carrot - dig the patch well, not too keen on transplanting carrots Cauliflower - as per brocolli Chive - easy Red Cabbage - easy if you can keep the caterpillars at bay Kale - good for cows Leek - nice Lettuce - Crisphead - keep watered Mint - too easy! Red Onion - I don't know how they go in summer Radish - easiest vege to grow Sage - nice Spinach - easy and nice Spring Onion -easy Cherry Tomato - easy Thyme - only tried growing once was easy Tomato - buy a grafted one such as a beefsteak for a tasty option Watercress - never tried it So this is my LITTE GARDEN effort for this year |

yip plant corn blocks as Lingee says but i would also add nitrogen fertilizer when it is up out of the ground [not at planting], if your soil is lacking fertility in general any NPK fert will do, small doses but regularly and water in .
