Gardening for Beginners




After last year's modest triumphs, the first courgettes of this summer had the success rate of a soggy match. I struck lucky with the last three seeds, now attracting various pests towards their strategically placed containers. Once again, the tomatoes shot up without a hitch - unless you count putting half the seed packet through the washing machine - and are just about ready to go in that lovely selection of 80p growbags I've been storing in the shed since spring.

The trouble with courgettes is when they start to crop you get masses of them. Can't give them away. I nearly had a panic attack in Morrisons a couple of years ago when I saw people paying for the bloody things.
