Is it too late to prepare new Veg garden?
Go for it.
At the very least you could plant mid early & main crop potatoes. You can't
beat home grown potatoes but hurry before the garden shops / diy stores sell
out of seed potatoes.
Try any veg you like, if it doesn't grow try something else. Don't forget
runner beans - plenty of time to prepare the ground and plant after the
frost late May.
Have fun.

At this time of year you can stick anything in
What doesn't grow in 20 days just sow again
You will not get show veg but you will get tasty veg
Just go to lidles and by some cheap seed
Come back and tell us how well did

Hi,
I've a patch of ground that looks suitable for a nice vegetable garden.
Thing is, I've heard the ground needs to be prepared months in advance
of sowing with composting and manure etc. This would be new ground of
course. It's been dug up a bit already (there was a jcb working in the
area) and there's no grass on top. I just need to cultivate it and
prepare beds/drills but will anything grow in it??
Or what might be the best choice of vegetables at this stage? It's in a
good location with a slight bit of shelter and the sun should get it
nicely too.
The top layer of the soil is very black like peat or turf. I think the
drainage is reasonable too. Any help and advice would be much
appreciated ladies and gents.
Thanks!
