Garden Media Guild Blog of the Year 2018:

About the blog

From balcony to beyond ... how an old children's gardening space in the communal gardens of my home revived my gardening journey, inspiring me to grow veg, herbs, salads, fruit and flowers - on my tiny balcony, in containers, and in the 10 x 30ft children's space. At the Urban Veg Patch I write about what I've grown in those spaces, lessons learned and mistakes made. You'll also find reviews of the latest books and products here.
