Gardening in the middle of winter is really more of a waiting game; only the hardiest of us will be prodding around in pots at this time of year. Bulbs will have been planted and conditions are not really conducive to encouraging much to grow. During 2016 I have seen some wonderful boat gardens on the canals, beautiful flowers and impressive vegetables, including, one boat covered with runner beans planted on the front well deck and growing up and over the roof. I have seen cucumbers grown like this and, of course, during the summer the cabin sides provide an extra source of warmth so I am thinking melons might be a possibility as well. They may even give some shade and keep the inside of the boat a little cooler.
