London is bursting with new initiatives about how to grow your own food in the smallest of places . With just 1-2 metres of space anyone can happily grow a range of gourmet herbs, salads and vegetables like: peppers, basil, chillies, carrots, tomatoes, beetroot, mange tout and French beans. Use re-cycled itemswhere possible – everything from orange juice cartons to chimney pots. 
Here are some inspirational sites to get you growing your own food on an urban balcony or patch of land during 2011:

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
