Hi Everyone

Having just moved into a new house, I've missed a large chunk of the
gardening year, but have a nice tempting bare patch of ground for planting
vegetables in.

Any suggestions for things I can plant now or soon, either winter veg or
fast growing things for harvesting later in the summer? Any suggestions
for suitable edible plants gratefully received.

Many thanks
Adam
