City Gardening

I live in the city and in apartment but wanted to be able to plant and grow my own vegetables. So I have purchased an allotment garden. It doesn't open till May 1st but in the mean time I am drawing out my plans and purchasing some items. I have started buying now so the cost is spread out more over a longer period of time. It's easier on the budget that way. I want to grow my own vegetables because it will cost less in the long run and it will also be healthier for my family.
I have started by writing down a list of vegetables commonly eaten by my family. I also plan on growing some medicinal plants along with the vegetables. And some herbs which I will grow on our balcony. It gets lots of sun so it seems like a good place to use. It will be helpful to have a diary of what I try so I can learn from my mistakes and remember my success. This will help in the planting of future gardens.

Love
