Plot your virtual veggies with Growveg.com
The fight for allotment space has become so frantic, it seems, that some are having to resort to getting their fix online. At least, that was what I assumed when I first discovered Growveg.com
On a closer inspection it is not, in fact, a playground for frustrated would-be allotment owners: it's more a tool for those who want to take their real vegetable plot to their desk. The site lets you draw a virtual model of your garden, selecting fruit and veg you want to grow, and it gives you heaps of info on how to care for those particular crops, including how much space they need, feeding, natural pest control advice and much more. It's a great idea for a site and playing with it is a lot of fun even if (like me) your 'garden' amounts to a neglected balcony.
