I currently have 30 suttons broad beans, 30 early onward peas and 15 each of imperial green longpod, jubilee hysor and bunyards exhibition peas sown in my mini greenhouses. Also have 6 pots of ideal carrots and 2 of sirocco in there as well plus 3 pots of lancer parsnips.
The suttons broad beans and the early onward peas are starting to show their heads.
Hoping to sow some hurst greenshaft and kelvedon wonder peas today if I can dodge the rain and get to the potting compost. Also going to move the carrots, parsnips, suttons and early onwards into the main plastic greenhouse I bought yesterday - if the rain stops long enough.

Welcome to my garden/veggie patch affectionately known as The Good Life
Hello
My name is Kim and welcome to my veggie patch. I am relatively new to veggie growing.
Please feel free to add any advice and experiences.
2006
Last year I grew some potatoes charlotte and pentland javelin in large polypots which did really well. I grew moneymaker tomatoes (which didnt do so well they kept splitting) and some plum tomatoes which did really well. My broad beans and peas did ok but I don't think I grew enough plants. My courgettes were ok but I think they needed more space.

This year I plan to do things on a much larger scale.
I am going to use linkaboard raised beds (I have 5 so far) for cabbages, cauliflower, calabrese, peas, broad beans, and courgettes.
I am growing Charlotte, Pentland Javelin, Arran Pilot and Pink Fir Apple potatoes in pots and polypots with Maris Piper in one potato bed yet to be dug.
Chillis, peppers and tomatoes are going in my plastic greenhouse.
Lettuce, spinach and rocket are going in between stuff where I can find the space.
