Hi all,

I'm new to this group and very interested in gardening although I'm
crap at it
and have never succeeded. I generally prefer my fruit and
veg organic and since
these are expensive to purchase I decided to grow
these myself (if possible). A
few days back I purchased Miracle Gro
organic compost and Miracle Gro organic
veg plant food. I plan to
initially grow strawberries and cherry tomatoes.
However, I'm not sure
if I need to have organic seeds as well to make it organic
or any seeds
would do.

Secondly, I plan to grow these indoors in my conservatory since
everything in
my vegetable patch outside is eaten by slugs. I've tried
the beer method but
that didn't help very much. Is it possible to grow
these indoors?

Sorry if the questions sound dumb

Thanks Billy, really useful :)

What does "determinate" mean? If I do plant a tiny tim plant, do I have
to
re-plant it every year?

Currently, I have put a few tomato seeds in a seeding tray (couple of
days now).
Do you know how often I need to water the tray? Also once I
have seedlings, how
do I transfer them, is there any distance I have to
maintain when replanting the
seedlings? I plan to grow them in pots
since I don't have enough space

Thanks for all your help so far, really good :)
