New gardener hoping to grow veg

Hi everyone gaga here from beautiful North Wales, looking to get advice on starting a new vegetable patch in our garden.

 

Hi there @GaGa73 and a very warm




Not a veggie grower myself but there are plenty here who do, so you'll never go short on advice.

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner GaGa.

 

Hello again, been a bit busy so not had time to get online, thanks for the warm welcome

I’m looking to start growing some stuff in our back garden but am not really sure what and how best to do it, I like to potter in the garden especially in the warmer months but I feel I need to step up my game from just watering plants and weeding borders, also I have two beautiful twin granddaughters who I would love to be able to teach what I learn, they already help out with the watering haha.

Anyway so I have started to prepare an area and am just after some guidance of what to plant, where best and when etc?

I will be laying the paving flags down the middle of the area so I'll be able to access everything easily, this will give me two rows for planting, it's south facing so will get the sun all day (when it's out) Our back garden is a very windy one but mainly from the West/South West so the fencing and right hand sleeper wall will offer some protection against that.

I'm waiting on some more topsoil to be delivered tomorrow so would like to get started with some seed planting soon if possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice

 

I can see you live in a rural situation with a lovely view. The fence will help with the prevailing wind of course but if it is damaging you will have to be careful with choice of plants. I also live rurally with an open aspect so understand your situation.

I think it would be best for you to start a thread either in Gardening Discussions or Garden Projects where our friends here are more likely to see your posts and give any help you need. It would also help please if you put your area in your avatar box. This helps us regarding your climate and we can adjust advice if necessary.

 

Hello and welcome
