What is growing in Britain's gardens?

How will oil depletion affect the way we live? What will the economic impact be? How will agriculture change? Will we thrive or merely survive?

I have an allotment in Bristol, depending where you are their either isn't a waiting list at all, or it's around 1 year.

We've got a little (I mean, tiny) green patch here, the rest's concrete. Only problem is, my flatmate's got three rabbits and a dog.

Any suggestions on how to keep them from digging up/eating anything planted? (we tried to build a fence...the dog's a pretty good jumper!!) I'd love to try and grow some veg...it all tastes so plastic from the shops here =[

Builders' bags, or "bags for life" from the supermarket if space is more limited, can make cheap and effective planters. Rabbits won't eat everything, and cayenne pepper will keep the dog off.
