Given the uncertainty of the coronavirus, the gardening will be tailored to take into account the latest public safety and health advice. I’ll take you through my process from scratch, week by week. It will mostly be small space container gardening. But I’ll keep you updated with what you should be doing to get a good veg harvest this summer, no matter the size of your growing space.
