Nooby! :-)

I wouldnt bother with broccoli unless it was of the purple sprouting variety, because it's expensive, but it'll also take up a lot of room, 1 plant, 3/4 square meter], and the the cauli neither, because they are notoriously difficult to get right and also take a lot of room.
You don't have a lot fo space there, unless you plant the broccoli outside of the bed and straight in the ground [nothing wrong with that]
Have a look at square foot gardening....and hiya

I might chuck the broccoli some where else in the garden. If nothing else the rabbits will enjoy it

I started with square foot gardening, this is a wee bit of an extension of what I did last year.

Hi, good to have more grapes up here. A bit damp today isn't it?

It was indeed! Bit of a cold start today, sun out now so I'm going to do a bit more.

Just realised I can multi quote!!!

Hi Steeli and a warm welcome from a perishing cold South Wales! Looks like you have plenty of space for a few more beds and lots of seedlings coming along too. Roll on salad time!!

Yeah, I intend to end up with a kind of flattened 'C' shape, the short part to be a herb garden. Hopefully it will work.

Hello and welcome to the vine Steeli I grow in beds but mine don't have wood surrounding them just a path to separate each one.

Thought about that, but future plans are to put gravel down between, less grass to cut

Welcome to the vine Steeli. Looks like you have well and truly been bitten by the bug! Good on you.

Thank you

Those mystery flowers look like wallflowers from here Steeli

Ah, cheers. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to flowers. Although I'll have to learn as I would like to put some roses down the left hand side!

Welcome to the vine Steeli, it won't be long before you need extra beds.

Hello and welcome, Steeli.

Hello Steeli welcome to the vine

Thank you all for the kind welcome

Hi Steeli and welcome!

Try carrots if you haven't grown them before. You won't believe the difference in flavour Radishes are amazingly fast growing, if you want to get as much out of the growing area as possible. Beetroot is quite quick too, and all the salads too of course
Good luck and enjoy!

Thank you, I'm definitely doing carrots, probably some salad leaves and may give the beets and radishes a go.

im just catching up too - welcome to the vine

[Steeli]

Thank you all, finding it to be nice friendly place to be

Forgot this was about interests including gardening. In addition to my new found enjoyment of gardening I also enjoy a spot of Karate and some cycling. Although the barrel round my tummy would suggest otherwise ;-)

I also enjoy Real ales and cold ciders and lager (cause of the tummy barrel?) and the odd spirit. Have just noticed the juicy gossip section, guess I'm heading there next for a browse.

Hi Steeli - welcome to forum

[Two_Sheds]

I also enjoy ...some cycling. Although the barrel round my tummy would suggest otherwise ;-)

I was always the cyclist in the house, but the bug has now bitten Mr TS. He's 18 stone, not really built for it
But strong as hell, he soon outpaced me. He's gone from not being able to ride into town without whingeing, to booking himself on the London to Amsterdam this summer

We both love our ale
