THE VEGETABLE FAIRY
The soil in my garden is not suitable for growing vegetables, but I have still managed to grow my favourites – runner beans. I grow them in large tubs and had such a successful crop last year, I am doing the same this year – proof that you can still grow vegetables even if your garden soil is unsuitable. I didn’t even buy the seeds, I just dried a load of the seeds from last year’s crop. Free food that’s healthy too. Any spare beans I have, which is usually a lot, I give them to my neighbours. They call me the vegetable fairy, lol. I think this is a great tip for gardeners like myself who have to stick to pots!
