Patience is the key, plant now, wait 2 years. Then they are good for 10 or so.

Part of my job involves growing fruit and vegetables for the main house. Going to be experimenting this year with chilli seeds from India, as well as replanting a Victorian orchard with heritage varieties.

same as that, broccoli and onions on the go, and recently got into sprouting seeds as a salad for my sarnies, high nutrition, add a little husked hemp and a drop of hemp oil and you get so much nutrition in two sandwiches you barely feel the need to eat in the evenings.

I've had two allotments in my time but ran out of time to manage them. Would have enjoyed it a lot more if I'd had the time to do things properly instead of always playing catch up. I used to run a strict three year rotation and tried to avoid any chemicals (without knowing what residues were in the manure). I even tried a bit of companion planting to exercise pest control - onions among the carrots, that sort of thing.

 

We'll move house one more time, then there'll be a veggie patch at home instead of 15 minutes walk away.

 

Tony, a bit of planning will go a long way, but I'm sure you're organised enough for that anyway. Best of luck with it.

My neighbours and I have done a couple of seasons of 'no-dig' gardening - them with more success than me (they don't have nippers). But i did get some great broad beans, they didn't even make it back to the kitchen. No-dig is way easier than traditional gardening and it keeps the soil ecosystem intact. A good place to find out more is:

I've got this book, well worth a read:
