Just moved, bought a huge greenhouse on ebay at the weekend and now we're going to rejig things so we can do a proper vegetable patch. I think we'll start small this year. We've inherited a good compost heap, I've found a source of rotted (2year old) horse manure so I think we're good to go. The soil is clay, the patch should get sun but not all of the day (no part of the garden does).
So..
Raised bed or just a regular bed ?
Size ?
Any particular orientation ?
Best veg to start with (got the greenhouse to start stuff off) ? I'm planning tomatoes and peas but the kids want carrots and cauliflowers.
I'd appreciate any nuggets of advice (anything to divert from the bamboo I haven't started on).
