We've grown veg on and off for years for fun. It's never mattered how much we grew and we have wasted a lot purely because we've not picked it at the right time (I grow but dp cooks and rarely thinks to pick stuff from the garden).
Next year we're likely to have a bit more time and a lot less money. I want the veg garden to be properly productive to reduce our food bills.
The garden is quite small.
We have 5 beds 3x1m - one has sprouts, one has some carrots and the rest are empty; and a 3m square bed with some gooseberries and one remaining asparagus plant and lots ofor space. We also have apples, raspberries, strawberries, black currants damson and plums.
We have one other flower bed where I can sneak some more veg if necessary but really I'd like to overhaul it to make it anext attractive cottagy herbaceous border.
We garden organically.
We eat most veg.
Anyone want to talk me through next year season by season to maximise what we can grow?
