Self-introduce

[lucyjones]

My name is Leigh and I have a lot of time on my hands. In a desperate bid to keep myself occupied (out of trouble) I have spotted a project. I have just moved into a new flat (downsized) and spotted outside the front door two of the sorriest looking brick built containers you have ever seen.

My idea is to fill these containers with herbs and perhaps a few vegetables that everyone in the block will be able to use and benefit from, thereby enhancing the look of the property and providing something that will be of use to my neighbours too. It has already helped me to meet my neighbours as I didn't want to upset anyone.

Now having had the grand plan and being armed with the necessary approval, I have to admit I have NEVER grown a thing in my life before. Please help me I need support and advice, Bought the books and even tried to read one but OH DEAR gardeners cannot write for toffee and they all seem to make the same mistake, my knowledge is minimal I know grass, soil and the difference between a daffodil and a tulip!
