have decided to start growing a lot of the food for jasmin as one it will be cheaper and two i will know exactly what has been near the plant's
some watercress in pot's until it sprout's some root's then will be planted in soil
and some carrot top's on damp tissue these should start growing fairly quick
will be digging over an fencing off a big area of my garden over the weekend ready for planting spring green's, turnip's, parsnip's, radish, beetroot and mustard green's next year |

did think it look's quite rich although i don't know much about soil unless it's full of clay or not.
spring green's i should be able to get a spring an autum crop from an the turnip's, beet's, mustard an water cress i should be able to harvest the leave's through the summer
will also be growing various flower's that she can eat
cheer;s for the tip about the carrot's with try that also going to try growing some butternut squash |

dought id go as far as going to veg growing competition's might take jasmin along to one so she can pig out on their prized veg though haha
yep fairly easy plus i know exactly what has gone into the plant's
by putting the carrot top's on damp tissue the top's/leafy bit's will grow but not the carrot so an easy way to grow carrot top's indoor's, people also do this for rabbit food from what ive read |
