Thanks for comment Bonnie. Delighted you have the growing bug too. Keep the spuds well watered to ensure healthy plants and good yield. it should not be long before you see the small white or pink flowers depending on the variety. Trevor

Thanks Mary. Most herbs grow well in containers as long as 1. the pot is as big as you can manage to give roots room to roam, 2. the ‘not too wet not too dry’ balance is reasonably well maintained and 3. the location is bright and if lucky, sunny. Parsley and chives for example prefer open soil but will do fine in pots outside, whereas basil and coriander originating in hot countries need the sunny warmth of an indoor windowsill or greenhouse. Mind you I took a chance with coriander outside this year and so far so good. Good luck and happy growing and cooking. Trevor

Hi Trevor, your fruit and veg garden is great!! I just started trying to grow some veg this year but my potatoes have not flowered yet, hope they are OK. Lettuce spinach rocket etc are great and am hopeful peas and beans and tomatos will be good harvest – I am not as neat as you though! The videos are very helpful. best wishes bonnie

Hi Trevor,

Do you have any advice on growing herbs in small pots, such as
parsley, coriander, basil etc?

Mary
