After a lot of thought, my garden plans are starting to come together. Here’s what’s going into my garden, greenhouse and pots this spring:

Window boxes are also a great way to grow your own herbs and salad leaves, or containers on balconies or doorsteps.

I’m especially excited about the fruits this year – honeyberries are supposed to be like blueberries but hardier for our climate, and loganberries should give a nice tangy alternative to raspberries. If you’re new to growing, start with herbs and salad leaves – they’re quick to grow, don’t need much space, and are expensive to buy fresh from shops, so they’re definitely worth the effort!
