Kind of an odd question...My landlord gave me a medium sized plot of earth in his garden for growing vegetables. Does anyone know what vegetables grow well in Belgium? or maybe where i might find out?
thanks raven

Is there enough chalk in it? Has the dirt been worked or has it been abandoned a long time? Secondly, when is it sunny and when not. Thirdly, is the earth rather dry or rather wet, well drained or not? Only when you know these essential data can you decide what to grow and what not. Why don't you ask your landlord what he would grow on the plot?. If he doesn't do anything with his garden, you might ask one of his neighbours! |

Blimey, I don't think their growing vineyards.  -------------------- "Have a good time, all the time" that's my philosophy of life, Viv Savage - Spinal Tap

Um...wow...It is in the middle of my landlords vegetable garden, he gave it to me after his crop of strawberries was harvested. the soil looks like ummmmm soil, dark brown with organics mixed in. Irrigation should not be an issue but it is under sun all day. I would ask my landlord but unfortunately I've only been here two months and my command of the dutch language (especially the Flemish accent) is not well enough to ask him gardening questions.
as for sprouts i don't grow them because i don't eat them...YUCK lol
