Congrats, and welcome to the Madhouse!

[aella851]

thanks but where to start?

[Two_Sheds]

same advice we give to everyone starting out:

- make a list of what you like to eat
- buy seeds
- mark your plot into at least 4 beds (I do spuds, legumes, alliums & brassicas)
- make some kind of planting plan: what and where

don't be daunted, it's as easy or as difficult as you make it

Wow thats nice.

Well done on getting your first plot, very nice too, follow Two_sheds advice on where to start.
Where are the weeds, I can not see any weeds from the photo you posted..every body has to have some weeds
