At the weekend we got our veg plot started. My husband dug it over and then dug in the contents of our compost bin.
We had had potatoes chitting for a while and he planted a row of earlies. They are beside the path, from the labelled stick, down to the step. He then planted broad beans at the far end on the right and runner beans at the near end on the left.
Veg plot
It’s a bit empty at the moment but it’s too early to plant anything else yet. We have only planted a few runner beans as we intend to plant some dwarf beans later. We will also have tomatoes and courgettes and we have some fir apple potatoes chitting but they need to be planted later. We may add a chilli plant as that did well last year and we will decide what else to plant as we go along.
We have gone for different types of potato this year as last year’s were not very successful. We are hoping to have better luck this year but you never know how the year will turn out. It is good to have made a start though and makes us feel like summer is on it’s way.

We have planted our early potatoes, I have not even started my runner beans yet.
Hope you dont get any frosts.
We haven’t had earlies before but I know you said they were good for you so we decided to give them a try. I know it’s a risk with the runner beans but we were lured by the recent lovely weather. If it looks like there will be a frost we will cover them. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
