How to grow a number of Vegetable crops in just  one pot.

(For late Summer/Early Autumn planting)

  • 4 Chard Plants.
  • 3  Kale Plants.
  • 5 Early maturing Garlic Cloves such as ‘Early Purple Wight’.
  • Broad Bean Seeds for Autumn sowing such as ‘Acquadulce Claudia’.
  • A large pot – plastic or terracotta – at least 45cm diameter with drainage holes in.
  • Canes made into a wigwam support.

First fill the pot with Multipurpose compost and push in the wigwam support and sow a Broad Bean seed at each support leg.  At the centre of the pot plant the Kale and add the Chard around the outside.  Plant the garlic cloves into the compost with the pointed end upwards so the tips are about 1cm under the soil.  Then please give the pot a good water.

Both the Chard and Kale can be cropped over the Autumn and the Winter, but their biggest crop will be in the Springtime, at which time the Broad Beans will also set pods.

Please keep an eye on the shop at GardensRus, which is added to and replenished on a regular basis,  for ‘grow your  own’ Vegetables.
