We're moving house, to a semi with a great big garden. I haven't lived in a house with a garden since I was 9, which is far too nearly 40 years ago. You can imagine how excited I am! 
As well as the trampoline and swing-ball and table/chairs for sitting out on, I'd like to do some growing. I have some ideas, but I need some advice, since I am an almost-total novice (I've grown some salad stuff successfully, and that's about it)...
I'm planning raised beds to grow veg (two smallish ones to start with, then maybe more if I can handle it!), a bed for raspberries, strawberries and any other berries I can manage, and a little greenhouse.
We'll be moving in at the beginning of August. What should I be thinking about first? Obviously I need to build the beds... What should I consider when it comes to choosing their position? Then soil enrichment? If so, how? Am I likely to be able to grow anything this year, or am I too late?
And is there a good, simple growing book people would recommend?
And would anyone like to suggest anything else my teens and I might enjoy in our new garden?!
Thanks in advance. :)
