I don't grow a lot of each thing, there is only me here . I just have 2 raised beds 5m long and meter wide but they are quite deep and full of good soil and compost built up over the years. I also have some long troughs for strawberries and salad items. I used to grow tomatoes but don't bother now, the locally grown ones are lovely.The soil in my garden is heavy clay, the raised beds gave me the opportunity to have a good depth of quality soil enabling me to grow more things with ease.

He grows their vegetables for her benefit (everyone say awwww!) and last year I was invited to a meal at their house.
I'm not kidding you...
I have NEVER tasted vegetables like them!
