Hi everybody. I'm new to gardening and recently retired to Cyprus, where I plan to grow many of the fruit and vegetables popular here - tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, aubergines, courgettes, strawberries, peas, beans, carrots, cauliflowers etc.
Herbs I'll grow in pots on the patio, but for everything else I have a 30m x 20m area in front of the house that is bare, flat, and very dry due to the lack of rainfall, though the soil is reputedly excellent.
I'd like to plan the layout, as I know what will happen if I start planting things willy-nilly - a year later it will be all over the place. Any advice on layouts would be most welcome.
Secondly, which plants do better in the ground, and which ones do better in pots or raised beds?
Thanks in advance
