What Vegetables To Grow For A Novice Gardener?

Posted by admin on February 22, 2010

Decided to grow a few veg this year – not being particularly green-fingered, and bearing in mind the time of year – any suggestions on what to grow for a gardening newbie?
If it helps – I have a shady, North facing garden (which doubles as a latrine for most of the neighbourhood cats) in London and, as far as I can ascertain, the soil type is ‘brown’.
A link to a helpful website or book recommendation would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
