Good to Start with?

I've just received a seed catalogue. (not sure about the rules of mentioning individual companies).
the things that i am thinking of ordering to get me started are
Bean-dwarf French speedy.
Carrot Ideal.
Lettuce. salad bowl and/or frisco.

the three herbs i'm thinking of starting with are
chives.
Parsley Envy
celery par-cel

Are these OK to begin with or am i better off starting with something else?

 

i am sure its ok to mention brands.

what experience do you have? the beans and letture are easy peasy growers but the carrots will need a little more attention - fine soil with little stone in as they may fork and i always protect mine from carrot fly with netting

Thanks.
experience wise, i'm a genuine beginner. Someone else said the same to me about the carrots.
I am going to start with 3 herbs and 3 other things. do you know what i could grow instead of carrots? cucumber?

 

i love to grow beetroots - i sow a few then a couple of weeks later a few more.

if you like courgette they might be a good choice although they can take up a lot of space they are really good croppers and you get excellent reward

Potatoes. For me there is some extra magic about them.

I think it's because the potatoes aren't obvious roots like carrots - they just seem to appear in the ground. :ntwrth:

 

Good choices Mister PS except for the carrots.
I would go for something more fail safe - like beetroot or baby turnips.
Baby turnips are very fast and are delicious cooked or raw in salad.

 

thanks for all the replies.

as i'm just starting off, i aim to keep it simple too begin with.
I think at this stage, i'll probably fo with the beetroot and/or the baby turnips.
