Need advice on what to plant with what - brand new gardener
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 7:38 pm
Hi
We moved house in October and its my first garden, Im keen to grow my own fruit and vegetables and have built 3 raised beds, 3meters x 1 meter. I also have some bags to grow potatoes in, and planning on growing tomatoes in a grow bag with buckets.
MY question is, what should I plant together in the raised beds, and how many plants do you think I need ( there are two of us)
Im thinking
bed 1 - brocolli (4plants), calabrese (5 plant), cabage (2 plants)
bed 2 - courgette (2 plant), onions red, onions white, spring onions, garlic, peas (not sure of how many of these)
bed 2 - leeks, carrots, onions (around the carrots), parsnips, beetroot, sweetcorn, lettuce
would also like to fit somewhere cucumber, pepper.
And raspberries and strawberries along a spare bit of flower bedding.
Is this ok, or would you suggest otherwise?
Thanks
