Well the simple answer is that "stuff grows". Amazing really, even with a novice to hinder its progress, plants still do there best to grow. The problem this gives me, is that i have planted everything too close together.
My big gripe with all the magazines that have articles about pot vegetables is that they don't tell you how many fit in a given size pot. they say plant 30 cms apart. Does that mean one per pot or what. As someone with no knowledge whatsoever, i need very simple instructions.
One magazine was nearly there, it said to use a 35.7 cm diameter pot. Brilliant. then it said plant the beans 15 cm apart. What does that mean in a round pot. Does that mean i can fit two in that pot??
I need a very simple idiots guide. I am sure that if i had oodles of time i could learn from blogs as people must make these kind of discoveries for them selves but i don't have loads of time, i need a resource now. So if anyone knows a fool proof book on planting veg in pots please let me know.

ReplyDeletei found a very good guide for the beginner
ReplyDeleteI've always found that you can plant closer together in containers than it tells you on the seed packet. If you've discovered that you've planted things too close together and it's hampering their growth just thin them out a little.
