hey all, i'm starting to plan out my garden for this year. i'm hoping to have a polytunnel, and a traditional outside plot. i've a fair bit of room, and am starting from scratch. i'd like some advice, if possible, on layout. also, the ground here is fairly damp most times of the year, so i was wondering about raised beds etc. i'd love to have a very traditional style garden, lots of sweetpea and other plants misex in with veg, pots, planters etc. so, if anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear them. |

raised beds are good on heavy wet soil. |

A few tips: put some of your flowers where you can see and enjoy them from indoors, say the kitchen window.......we spend a lot of time indoors in this country! Your herbs need to be easily reached from the kitchen door, and your raised beds need full sunshine. |
