Growing your own Veg.

[2blue]

Any one doing more of this or starting for the first time?
I used to grow loads when the family was at home & before interest in golf grew.
I grassed a 10sq m area then, but still have plenty to go at.
I guess if you're going to have a pandemic, this is a good time of year for it to start, though I feel for those without an outside space.

what are we talking Carrots and spuds in the bunkers and brassica and soft fruit in the rough?

Does growing your own "health products" count?

I've planted a few seeds in my day.

Not so rough now.... 1 cu m of moss from 10 sq m.??

Like many golf courses my track was turned over to farmland during the war. Fingers crossed

Gonna be a long time before that happens, pal. Though we are a smokeless zone.

We have olive trees - May start a cottage industry "R&A oil"

 

[Slime]

For what, like???

Cover them all in a strong cheese sauce, throw in a few fish fingers and some lovely bread covered in Lurpak and you're ready to go.
What more could anyone wish for?

Tapioca ?

Plenty of fruit and veg in Tesco yesterday.
Just no meat, bread, milk and strangely no vegetable/sunflower oil

No need here. If a field isn't fenced we are permitted to take enough for personal consumption. Anymore and you get well done. Water melons are coming on well, and the carrots are due out shortly. Lettuce has a bit to go though.

When we moved into a house with a garden for the first time , I was quite chuffed to see 2 feet high lettuce , shows you what I know.

Carrots in a raised bed is good advice, so long as it is deep enough.
Scattering carrot and lettuce seeds together is also sound advice, or if you have enough space sow alternate rows.
Don't overwater.
