Are you not allowed to have house plants? That sounds very harsh to me. I really hope you'll find something that works for you. Sounds like you already have some great ideas, though.

We can do what we like inside, but I'm one of those folk that just can't keep house plants - they die, every time. Might try a few trays of salad leaf stuff.

Ah, okay. I'm the same. Gardening is fine, but traditional house plants? No chance. If you like, you could try growing a potato in a large pot. That worked surprisingly well for me, I never even transplanted it. I'd love to read about any experiments you might try. :)

grow a potato in my flat? No way - and it's only a small flat, anyway.

Worth it for even just a few if they are Pink Fir Apples. Delicious.

Nope. Not even for pink fir apples. I wouldn't be able to heft a pot without getting compost all over the floor - or get enough compost to the flat, come to that. Anyway, growing things is about being outside etc.
