Gardening advice

[watervole]

Having just planted out the lettuce seedlings which are growing amazingly well and are so far untroubled by slugs, and managed (so far at least) to greatly reduce the aphid problems on the gooseberry (last year we had mega-problems with aphids), and the garden and allotment generally looking pretty good (we'll certainly have some disasters, just don't know what they'll be yet...), I wondered if anyone would like any gardening tips?

Is there some kind of fruit or veg that you'd like to grow and don't have a clue where to start?

Is there something you're already growing that simply goes wrong? (fails to thrive, gets eaten by nasties, etc)

Have you got a lawn that you're contemplating turning into a veg patch, but don't know where to begin?

Ask me, and I'll see what I can do to help.

Considering the size of the bit of garden she wants to use, I doubt it'll be worth doing potatoes. Leeks and radishes are more sensible. Maybe onions.

Can you still get onion sets? May be pushing it timewise.
