Well, having finally taken the plunge and sown loads of seeds (with lots of advice from you lot!), I have to report that things are fantastic!
So far everything i've seeded has grown, that's not to say I have fruits from everything yet, but it's looking hopefull!
The lettuces have gone mad and we're managing to eat from them every day!
The raddishes are huge and fantastic and i'm re-seeding from each one I pick.
The toms are yet to turn to fruits, although have flowers, so i'm hopeful all will be ok!
The runner beans also have flowers and are about 5ft tall, so again, hopeful they will bear fruit.
The sweetcorn is looking healthy and is about 2ft tall and the leeks and spring onions are getting bigger each day!
The carrots are looking good, well, at least the tops are and the beetroot and spinach also looks good from top!
The only thing that hasn't done much, although hasn't died, is the peppers! They're not much bigger than when I put them in the ground! Maybe they're slow?
I have to say, touching wood, that i've had absolutely no problem with pests! We decided to build a net cover for the whole plot to keep the birds off. But with regards to other pests, nothing!
Anyway, i'm going to continue and maybe put some stuff in the ground for winter, although that will require some reading!
