Thanks for the advice, I'm not sure if there is still a risk of frost here, we did have snow a few weeks back so nothing is out of the ordinary as far as our climate is concerned. So is it definitely possible to plant out beets & onions now?

I got the rasberry plants on the way home today, the stems actually look quite brown on is that normal pre planting? The blackberry plant looks great though, I've soaked the roots in water for a few hours now & I'm going to plant it this evening.

As for the tomatoes, I'd really love to get them right, can I just start them in the house, when you say give them alot of light, do you mean natural or artificial light? Also would they get enough heat this way? If I get them to the point where they can be planted out should I put them in a green house? (we only have a small one suitable for a growbag)

Are there any fool-proof vegetables aside from the ones I've already mentioned that a complete beginner might be successful with?

Thanks again
