I made detailed plans on graph paper(a 5x5 Sq being a Sq Ft. layed it all out how it was gonna be and then put stuff somewhere else as we planted it all. First year and a right mixture. Have an idea for next year on 1st plot as divided onto 4 with rope paths making a cross.
Need to be aware of some type of crop rotation, saying that... everyone seems to bung the runners in the same place. But pleased with first years crop and did try hard to remember to weigh it all to give a guide to next years stuff.

Great fun all this and was getting impatient waiting for stuff to grow then BANG, stuff everywhere, couldn`t believe how much stuff we got from a few packs of seeds, well a few million packs of seeds!!! Becky never seems to stop buying them!
