Raised veggie bed for beginners ...

I have a brand new small raised bed which I want to use for veggies, which I've never grown before.   Is it too late to plant something now?

Hi @kerry59

Thanks for your question. No not at all! Try some Winter Veg like Kale, cabbages, herbs  and even growing some lettuce (one of the quick crops) which you can grow from now until the first frosts. 

This article on growing your own herbs should help! 

Consider growing tomatoes from seed next year too which will help you get your garden green fingers going!

Happy growing. 

Many thanks.  Cant wait to get going - after reading your articles and watching some of your videos I feel inspired.
