best of 2010 Try growing For
Your Space! Suttons’ focus for 2011 is to help new gardeners make the right choice of tasty, succulent vegetables dependent on the space they have available and to ensure that they succeed! That’s why it developed the new For Your Space range, introduced in 2010, which it says is the sure way to provide varieties and information on how to grow these to fit every possible growing space that a consumer may have available to them. For Your Space Windowsill Varieties mean budding gardeners can still produce veg indoors on the windowsill. Sprouting seeds, ‘microgreens’, dwarf herbs, salad leaves and even new dwarf peppers and tomatoes will thrive. The Window Box Varieties collection shows how many summer salad items are ideally suited to a humble window box. Patio Varieties are perfect for people growing in containers. New, compact growing, bushy vegetables stimulate interest and encourage even more growing! New types of aubergines, tomatoes, courgettes, squashes and even pumpkins are ideal for patio growing. Square Metre Gardening Varieties help you to get all that you can from the space available. Growing in blocks or squares is more efficient ‘space-wise’ than growing in rows and the technique is also well suited to raised beds.
