    Hi all, my girlfriend and I are doing our first veg plot this year.

    We've grown everything from seed (except marigolds), just for the experience. We have courgettes, squashes, tomatoes, kale, French and Borlotti beans, chives and some lettuces. We want to do everything organically too.

    So far, there have been a few casualties, maybe because we planted them out too early (but that's for another thread!).
