SOUTHSEA GREEN: Making plans for spring
As a novice gardener myself and trying to encourage young people to get outside and embrace growing and learning, the Catch22 '˜bed' plot has been a haphazard, yet brilliant experiment in the past two years.
We had a '˜plant it and see what happens' approach to growing; from monster marigolds to substantial spring onions (which turned out to be garlic), with a good dose of enthusiasm and some top tips from our neighbours, it's been a great opportunity to learn.
Spring is here and we have a plan. We hope to get to grips with growing more fruit and veg. Redcurrants, blueberries and cranberries are on the wish-list, plus radishes, different lettuces and  tomatoes.
