Edible Garden - The Beginning

This year I am determined to have an edible garden. We have the vegetable patches already allocated against the south west facing wall, and I have started the seeds off indoors. Here are some 'before' pictures. The rhubarb is already planted (from previous years) and is starting to come up. The espalier trees have nothing to show as yet. The lovage was donated by our kind next door neighbour, and the raspberry and blackcurrant canes have just been planted this month. Much weeding and bed reinforcements are on the agenda before the plants go in. Mainly I can't wait to get my new plant identifying sticks in the ground (check out the lovage!)
