Commonly Asked Questions

What vegetables are good for urban gardens?

Chard, lettuce, cherry and bush tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, summer squash and bush beans are all excellent options for a container garden, depending on the size of your container. And don't forget herbs—basil, chives, thyme, and more.

How do you grow carrots in an urban garden?

Carrots can be planted three to five weeks before the last frost date in the spring. Applying manure before planting seeds can cause carrots to shoot out roots from their bodies.

What vegetables grow all year round in the UK?

Brassicas such as kale, cabbage, turnips, and broccoli will all grow over the winter months. Some varieties of spinach beet will survive frosts. Root vegetables like carrots and beetroot can be harvested late autumn and stored for several months, as can potatoes, onions, and garlic.

What is the best location for urban gardening?

Find a place where the plant has access to at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. Plants can be grown on the roof (with permission, of course). They can also be grown in window boxes, patios, and balconies in hanging baskets.

What is the quickest vegetable to grow?

Radishes are one of the fastest crops you can grow—it takes the vegetable about six weeks to grow from seed to harvest.
