Does anyone grow their own veg?If so what do you grow and have you got any tips?

Yep, now is the time of the year (autumn) to plant onion sets and garlic cloves. Onions are fairly easy, don't plant them in the same patch they occupied last season, plant them about 6 inches apart and staggered rows 6 inches apart, and net them after planting, the birds love to peck them out of the ground by the protruding tips. Garlic is better planted in fresh compost in containers, they are susceptible to, and can carry, a number of diseases, if they infect the ground of your vegetable plot, that area will be taboo for alliums of any type for as long as 10 years.

Buy garlic cloves from a garden centre for growing, they tend to be disease resistant, you know nothing about cloves from supermarkets.

It really dependswhere you live - last year our parsley and oregano stayed fresh throughout the winter. In other areas you have to wait til hard frosts are gone. I've done a hub on what to do with the excess harvest you have:hubpages.com/hub/Storing-your-excess-vegeta.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
