Second and third year plot holders

One more bit of advice to add:  label EVERYTHING.  You won't remember what's in those pots, or recognise the seedlings that are coming up, believe me.  Oh, and sow in straight rows and leave the markers in, that way you can tell seedlings from weeds.

Better to plant later - they soon catch up (I'm in Scotland).
Get the staples right and in the right quantities
Ignore OH saying "we'll never eat all that". Not only do we eat it all we frequently run out.
Try a couple of new things every year. We adore celeriac and swiss chard that we had never eaten before.
Research your recipes! ;)
Stay cool and let it happen. Do what you can.
