Food is getting so expensive, what are some vegetables to grow in a town garden?

with the price of food getting more expensive each week.



what are some good veggies that aren't too intensive to grow, are tasty and a bit resistant to slug or insect attack.?



my neighbours have flower gardens so it can be hard to grow vegetables without getting loads of slugs, etc..



i currently only grow chilis and sweet peppers.

You can grow anything that grows in a country garden. The World is your oyster.

If you have any allotments nears you, go and ask the holders, they'll be delighted to show you what can be cone. We are a friendly lot, so allow a bit of time.
Reply:Onions,peppers,tomatoes,radishes,lettuce... any herb,strawberry,squash,you can grow most anything in a raised bed and not have the slug problem,If you grow companion flowers you will have the best of both worlds.Pole beans grow up on a trellis or just sticks so you are not limited,as to what to grow some things just need more space,like potatoes.peanuts,cabbage.Good luck with your garden !
Reply:grow bags are great for tomatoes and they take very little room. You can have tomatoes from July to Oct. lettuce , scallions. early carrots and strawberry's. You could put some apple trees, blueberry bushes in large pots as well. Just make sure they are the dwarf variety. Enjoy
Reply:You can grow potatoes in a barrel.Lettuce and tomatoes in Grobags.Carrots, onionsand leeks in buckets. Kill off slugs with slug pellets.
Reply:I LOVE OUR GARDEN!!! I can't wait until summer! We have a fairly large yard, and my husband also PACKS in the plants. We have a lot of veggies!!



We grow:

tomatoes

green peppers

zucchini

summer squash

patti pan squash

cucumbers

strawberries

green beans

sugar snap peas



This will be our 4th year. We love it. Our kids help too, so therefore they LOVE veggies!!
Reply:My understanding is that lettuce takes up a lot of room to grow, but you can grow tomatoes and cucumbers in limited spaces. Both will grow in those vertical grow boxes where you put a piece of trellis in the box so that the plant can grow upwards.



I know zucchini will grow in a small space, too, but it gets out of hand quickly, so isolate it from your other veggies, as it tends to take over wherever it's planted--also, it's very hearty, and produces a lot of veggies from each plant, so don't overplant that one.



Peas are delicious when fresh, and they are only a small plant, so you can probably grow them in a limited space. I believe it's the same with green beans.



We have, in past years, planted all of the things I mentioned, and had them grow really well. I don't really know that much about gardening, so I don't know what is slug resistant and what is not, but I do know you can put out stuff that kills the slugs if there are too many. I have also heard that you can buy ladybugs (yes, ladybugs) and release them in your yard, and they will help control the small flying things like aphids and gnats.



I hope that is of some use to you.



Good luck, and happy eating!
Reply:I'm going for potatoes and carrots, and some beans. Also, if you plant things like onions and garlic with them, it'll act as a slug repellant.
Reply:Any plant that grows in the ground. Tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, etc...

Reply:tomatos are so good from the garden.

zuchini, squash, cucumber, rhubarb mm rhubarb pie.



potatos, sweet potatos.



idk anything hope that helps.
Reply:garlic, and courgettes are good and easy to maintain
Reply:Before you start planting anything measure out how much area you have to plant anything. Use that as a guide as to what you are going to plant.



An example would be a Better Boy tomato plant. It can take up as much as five feet in diameter, and so can squash, zuchinni and some other plants like them. You can plant almost any fruit or vegetable. Just make certain they will receive enough sunlight for their needs wherever you end up planting them.



You may think of growing straberries, herbs and spices in those multi-level pots. That would be fun. Just take a look at your budget and determine what you can afford to grow.
Reply:Tomatoes in 5-Gal buckets work very well...
Reply:we have a very small concrete back yard (north yorkshire UK) but we grow in tubs tomato's, potato's, lettuce,carrots, %26amp; spring onions. fresh from the garden so very tasty.

Reply:Most native veggies will grow in a town garden.



If you do get problems with slugs try throwing a bit of salt of them. Best natural way to get rid of them.
Reply:potatoes are dead easy and runner beans do not take up much space

I once grew carrots but they get carrot fly too easily so perhaps you should avoid them

oh and tomatoes are usually ok if you have a warm spot ot can make a small greenhouse

oh and strawberries in a pot
Reply:Tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, cabagge, corn, onions, etc
Reply:Runner beans are good if you have a wall or fence to grow up as they dont take much space.Snails are a problem with young plant ,you can cut empty pop bottles into rings make a jagged edge on them and surround plant also sprinkle salt around snails hate it!

Also you can grow tomatoes in tubs or even hanging baskets!
