My first vegetable garden.
Well It's almost the new year, and I have decided to give myself a new years revolution and/or goal. I love cooking in my spare time, and It would be nice to be able to grow my own ingredients, so I have decided to design and plant a raised bed vegetable garden.
Anyway I'm looking for advice.
So feel free to leave any tips you have bellow...

Welcome to the forum Kiwiboy 
Which country do you love in ?
I presume from your forum name that you are a New Zealander and I know that there is a vast spectrum of climate there , what is the climate like where you live ?
How big are the raised beds hat you are planning ?
I am sure you will be able to get quite a lot of help with the sowing ,planting and growing of the fruits snd vegetables.

Re: My first vegetable garden.
Daily maintenance is the key thing; most vegetable crops don't thrive on neglect (or the neglect-loads of work-neglect cycle i use).
I like to grow things like herbs, lettuces and any of the other things that don't survive well in the supermarkets or in the fridge.

I'm trying to think of advice, but like mummza says, it's really hard to help without knowing where you are.
