Your aim is to make the best use of your space to produce a good range of crops you can eat all year round, without ending up with a glut. The idea is to make beds of deep, rich soil and plant crops closer together as the roots can grow deeply. Don’t transplant root crops – it makes the roots split or the plants run to seed prematurely. But don’t even think about trying to grow everything. Even in a tiny space, you can grow worthwhile crops in tubs, growing bags or a small raised bed. Even if you’re short on space, it’s still worthwhile growing your favourite fruit and veg. My book, The Kitchen Gardener: Grow Your Own Fruit and Veg (see here) has information on planting and harvesting times for fruit and veg, and you’ll also find details on the backs of seed packets and catalogues. Water veg regularly in dry spells and feed long-stay crops – such as courgettes, brassicas, leeks and tomatoes – several times during the growing season. ★ In one growing bag, you’ll fit 12 runner bean plants or two bush courgettes or three outdoor tomatoes. Runner beans, tomatoes and courgettes are so productive you can grow worthwhile crops in a few tubs on the patio, and they are so good looking that if you didn’t know better, you’d think they were chunky bedding plants. Plant one tomato or courgette, or five runner beans.
