Hi Marfleet, potatoes ,runners, beetroots carrots ,peas are all fairly easy to grow depending how big your corner is

Radish, onions from sets, shallots, lettuce. All are easy.

Courgettes usually produce a good crop without too much bother. Bit early for those yet I think though.

Or you could plant some raspberries or blackcurrants?

why not ask the wife

Marfleet,
grow what your wife and kids will eat!  I've seen a few newbies (and I'll include myself in that number) who have looked in the book, got the seeds and grown the crops only to find that the family are not interested in what you offer them.  Soft fruit is usually a winner.  Good luck.  Lance
