I have just prepared a small raised bed for veggies.
It is in a reasonable sunny position and is raised by
approximately
12 inches.
However, it is quite small - only 6ft by 9ft.
I grow tomatoes & cucumber in my greenhouse & was thinking of what
to grow in the new bed.
Apart from carrots & spring onions, has anybody got any
interesting
ideas for veggies in a small bed like this.

You can get a surprising amount of vegetables from a small area like
that, if you're organised. The thing to do is spend a long time
reading the seed packets or catalogues, and choose the small
varieties and probably the ones which mature most quickly, and ones
which will fill gaps of time. Don't put in more than you can use. You
can afford to plant rather closer than the instructions recommend.
Forget potatoes, of course. If you don't mind growing some vegetables
in the flower-beds, you can cheat by putting some climbing beans and
broccoli in there, too.
