That is a very general question. How about a little more
information. Start by telling us what you climate is like and what
kind of plot you have,
its aspect and soil. Maybe you could go to the local library and
borrow a
book or two on growing your own veges to paint the broader picture
for you.

DavidThanks for the reply. It looks like there is a lot more to it
than I

thought. I didn't know there was different soil types.


If you don't want it to be hit and miss there is. Your soil and climate
largely determine what you can grow without too much effort. To start with
you don't want to make it a lot of effort. Sure you can alter soil and
modify your microclimate but it's much easier if you don't have to. Head
for the library.
