Kay Maguire explains how to grow a selection of speedy, easy and delicious crops, giving you maximum results from minimum time and effort.
Fast harvests from small places
Time may be limited, but your vegetable growing doesn’t have to be! However busy you are, you just need to find a few spare hours here and there to get outdoors and grow some veg – then you’ll reap the tasty rewards non-stop through summer and beyond. You don’t need lots of space or time – with a little planning I sowed a selection of crops in a 2m x 1m raised bed last spring, and had fresh veg in just a few weeks. This isn’t about huge harvests but small amounts, sown and picked regularly, then eaten at their freshest, tastiest best for months to come.
