Rooftop Growing

[pskipper]

Depends where you are, I'm in wiltshire and the Chillies have to come in for the winter but do wonderfully outside in the summer (bumper crop this year >300)

how about.....
as you have 2 walls, fastening brackets to them and using hanging baskets too, Tumbler tomatoes are pretty good in them and they are cherry types!

You could also grow starwberries up there in the same way.

ooh what a plan!

I've got 16 strawberry plants winging their way to me at the moment!

If i can get dad to rig up some kind of shelf on a chain on th wall, then i can probably grow them up there.

Tomatoes underneath, strawberries on top...


I'm in the south east of England, so if you can grow chillies in Wiltshire in Summer, then i shouldn't have a problem either.

Looks like there's going to be a row of chillies too...

Spoke to Dad about it. The roof will be strong enough to hold some growbags, so i'm planning a line against the big wall, for tomatoes, and then under my window i'm going to put a shelf so that my strawberries can go on them, and then i'm going to put chillies in a few pots and dot them about.


It'll be so pretty! And, it frees up some space in the garden itself.
