Ich habe also diese kleinen erhöhten Pflanzgefäße gebaut und möchte etwas Obst/Gemüse anbringen, möchte aber wissen, was am besten zum Boden passt?
Der Boden ist sehr schön und reichhaltig und lehmig, er wurde gründlich bearbeitet.
Der Garten ist nach Süden ausgerichtet, ist jedoch durch ein paar große Bäume und die Hecke etwas geschützt, so dass er nicht die volle Sonne hat.
Irgendwelche Vorschläge wären großartig, danke.

No use asking really. Just buy some seeds of food you like and give it a go. Then if something doesn’t grow well then you know for next year.
You can get an arch from the range for £11 and try growing beans/peas or sweat peas/nasturtium up it which always looks nice
What veg do you like ?
Grow that.
Get yourself a how to grow veg book .
The best thing to grow is what you’re going to eat. Everything will grow, it’s just certain things will THRIVE. In your spot in particular, leafy greens and roots like carrots and beets would be very happy.
Low maintenance/care: Potatoes , Onions, Radish
These are what we have tried when we started as a beginner (from seed) and harvested successfully:
– Courgettes
– Beans: these will need tall bamboos to support, but generally a decent harvest.
– Cucumbers : these will climb up and will need some kind of support but relatively easy to manage.
– Squash&Pumpkins : you could plant a couple on the edges and let them spread outside.
You could also try tomatoes. They need a bit more care. Best is to get some small plants in early summer and plant them in rather than sowing seeds.
Beans
Summer vegetables
Beetroot – then pickle them 👌🤌
Years ago, my husband once said that we shouldn’t grow things that are in overabundance and very cheap when in season, that we should focus on produce that’s more expensive or hard to come by in the markets. sd
So we grow a variety of tomatoes, some Japanese/Asian eggplants, some fancy carrots, Kirby cucumbers (nothing beats home made pickles especially at today’s prices), garlic (we never need to buy it now), etc.
We decided against raspberries & blackberries – too much prickly work and we didn’t want to fight the birds.
Keep in mind that some kinds of veggies require supports. For example, tomatoes are actually vines, some folks grow zucchini upright & tied to a stake, cucumbers and pole beans something to climb to support them (even the bush cucumbers kind of sprawl & would benefit from some support.) My suggestion is to research the many methods of supporting what you decide to grow. Many supports can be made of re-purposed/recycled items along with newly purchased materials. You can get great ideas from image searches.
Just grow what you want to eat really.
Try little bit of everything to see what will grow best for the next year. Just do a bit of research what like growing next to each other.
Were those boards treated? Theres certain treatments that you dont want on wood when growing edibles
Grow what you will eat. Onion and garlic always get used on my house so I plant loads of them
I’d grow garlic, curly parsley, chard, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, lettuce and rhubarb. My dad had a wonderful veg garden and grew all sorts.
where is the water supply ?
I think most people like potatoes, so I’d do one bed just for spuds. In another, try tomatoes, and in the third put up some canes for peas and beans. Grab a few pea pods early and let rest grow ro actual peas.Scatter a few chard carrots in the gaps and flowers in between to attract the bees.
Whatever you like to eat. Not sure I would create raised beds without knowing what I want to grow in them!
No love for Kale or purple sprouting broccoli here? Kale especially cavolo nero is obscenely expensive in supermarkets and really simple to grow.
Top picks are:
Garlic – it’s really nice fresh
Tomatoes – dead easy, the more you feed them the better – the bushy sort are less maintenance
Chard – produces over a long period, quite snail resistant
Courgettes – as above
And all the herbs you like. Garlic chives are a hidden good one.
These are rewarding – lots of veg for little effort. I always feel with onions and potatoes you may as well buy them. Beans, peppers, aubergines are doable but you are better off in a green house; on a bad year you won’t get much per plant.
The beds look awesome.
Could you say a little about where you got the materials and how they were built?
In answer to your question: I’d suggest carrots, onions, garlic, beets, chard, courgettes and maybe spuds.
What would you like to grow?
If you want something more unusual, you could try Salsify, Mangelwurzel and Oca
What do you eat?
What’s best very fresh
What is possible to grow here and is expensive in the shop
I don’t bother with spuds/carrots (very cheap in shop, use lots of land, pests), but grow a lot of raspberry canes (whole family love them) as well as Asian veg (fast high yielding)
For your garden, you might want to consider planting crops like lettuce, spinach, or kale as they thrive in cooler weather and partial sun. If you’re looking for something more hearty, root vegetables like carrots or potatoes would do well too. Enjoy your gardening!
Bindweed, kudzu, knotweed, bamboo, russian comfrey.
Potatoes
Depends on the veg you like
What do you like? Otherwise investment or value/ nutrition
Asparagus bed and broad beans Other beans ,parsnips .
The boxes look great. Can I ask what timber you used? We have a similar set up in Devon near the sea, so quite wild at times and grow things we think are a bit special. We have a permanent asparagus bed, strawberries and then pumpkins, zucchini etc plus blackcurrant and red currant bushes. We also grow dahlias in one of the beds for cut flowers which look spectacular. The best thing I did was put weed membrane between the boxes and grey gravel over the top. Just pull out one or two weeds out of the gravel each year, it’s easy, really low maintenance.
Why does it look like you’ve buried three people and are now trying to cover their graves with plants to hide the evidence?
Peas, potatoes, carrots, aubergines, tomatoes, courgettes, onions, herbs, parsnips, celery, radishes, cabbages and broccoli.
And cucumber, squash, red potatoes, kale, leeks.
With lettuce.
And spring onions.Runner beans and broad beans
