    Hello, I'm a complete newbie in all senses. First post in this forum, and I'm a complete beginner at vegetable growing.

    My interest is growing a few vegetables in containers for personal consumption. I'm interested in growing some or all of the following: tomatoes, potatoes, leeks, carrots, onions, cabbages, cauliflowers, courgettes, beans of various types.

    I live in a block of flats, with a small garden. I'm sure nobody will mind if I put a few pots up against the wall, but I can't go digging up the lawn. There is also a long waiting list for an allotment.

    I live in London, England.

    So, for my first question - are there any vegetables that are good for planting right about now, this time of year in my location? Recommendations, please.

      Hi Ron, and welcome to Gardeners Corner. We have quite a few knowledgeable and experienced veg and fruit growers either in their own gardens or allotments, so it might pay you to have a browse in the Edible Gardening thread and also the Allotment Thread.
      If you have any questions about veg growing then post them in those threads and I'm sure the guys and gals will be more than willing to help and give advice.:thumbsup::coffee::snorky:
