So here we all are, stuck at home with time on our hands, chaos in the supermarkets, trying not to think about an uncertain future.
What better time to start growing your own food!
This is the first installment of a series taking you setting up your first veg garden week by week – starting with getting your plot ready, plus a few seeds you can be sowing now for ridiculously quick harvests! https://www.learningwithexperts.com/gardening/blog/starting-a-veg-garden-during-quarantine

I have been planting herbs. More to the point, I have been experimenting with herb containers: a gardening marriage made in heaven if ever there was one, as herbs like it dry and hot, and conditions in containers are generally…. dry and hot. And you can put your herb container right outside your back door so all you have to do when you want something for your cooking is open the door, reach out and… voila! You don’t even have to put your shoes on.
Anyway, I made a video of it (in which you also get to glimpse my house and bits of the extremely woolly garden too). Here you go – courtesy of the crocus.co.uk Youtube Channel. Enjoy!

I’ve made another video! Or rather, my talented hubby did (I just wittered on a bit and played about with some compost).
So if you’re growing blueberries in containers this year – take a look at this and I hope you’ll find a few tips which might help:
