Hi all,

Moved into a new house recently and completely revamped back garden. Have raised beds in a number of places and just wondering what's best to plant at this time of year. I'm by no means an experienced gardener so would appreciate all the tips possible.

Have my own compost heap. Think my soil is pretty healthy so don't think it needs a whole lot of natural fertiliser.

Plan on making a henshed. Can anyone tell me where a good place to buy hens is? Handy for the free range eggs.

God bless,

Phil.
