Raised beds veg

Hi all

Complete beginner here at growing veg, I've done tomatoes for 3 yrs that's it

I've got 2 raised beds, just normal size one is going to be for cut flowers, the other for veg, I've already transplanted lettuce and radish, I also want to grow beetroot, spinach, and peas , I've got supports for those. Is that to much to have in a raised bed or will that be ok? As re these kinds of veg ok to be in same bed, It's all trial and error If the first lot I do take off well I can grow more in succession throughout year, well I think I can

I'm going to do bell pepper, cucumbers and tomatoes in greenhouse.
.

Any advice on growing what I've listed above or tips are very welcome! Thank you

Sounds like a great selection! Depends on the size of the bed of course but you should be able to get some of each in, just Google spacings for planting out.

Spinach is a funny one as it bolts (goes to seed) in June, so if you haven't sown it yet you won't get much out of it. I love to sow it (in a tray) first week in August, plant out late September, it just stays small all winter then grows brilliantly in early spring then you get a great harvest in April and May when there are no other greens to pick.

Recommend Charles Dowding website and anything on 'Square foot gardening'.
