Best position for a vegetable patch
The usual advice for the UK is a sunny spot although some edible plants
accept shade OK. It's possible that being further south, some traditional British vegetables won't do so well. Radish may not do so well in high summer and some lettuce may bolt. On the up side, you should be able to grow some heat-loving plants that are difficult in the UK. On the downside, your colder winter weather might kill some UK winter veg. Suggestions: 1. Find out what other people are growing locally and how. 2. If you can read French well enough, buy a gardening book locally. 3. Use UK gardening instructions but read between the lines to adapt to your area.
