Great campaign – and I’d love to hear your tips on growing cilantro. I have such a hard time. Perhaps I’m not keeping my soil well nourished? The leaves always go all yellow (same with parsley).
I second the salad leaves (given good well-drained soil).
I’d also add potatoes and tomatoes to the list!

That’s a great campaign, and it’s good that you’re spreading the word about it. My thyme and oregano are sharing a pot which is currently in the yard. I’ll have to bring it in for winter in this climate though. I’ve never grown herbs inside before, so it’s good to hear that a range of them have worked well for you.

Thanks Elaine! I think I need another year or so under my belt before I volunteer to help other people. I had beginners luck last year but this year have been learning all about garden pests and diseases.
I was chatting with friends about the one pot pledge yesterday and decided pea shoots were the way to go if you’ve never grown anything before. So easy and tasty.

Great suggestions for a novice gardener, Sophie, and I do think you should consider volunteering to be a guru.
What a great campaign, one of several you have in the U.K. I’d love to import this one to Canada along with the “Love Food, Hate Waste” initiative.
