I have just set up raised beds 4 in total 2 large and 2 small and had intended to plant potatoes, onions, parsnip and carrots for the first year but i have just watched monty's great simple explanation on rotation. The topsoil is new and has not been over wintered or compacted can i still do as i intended or are some of these a waste of time. any thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

I'm attempting an ambitious gardening project to grow as much vegetables as I possibly can on a London balcony - do you think onions are able to be grown in small containers? You can see my balcony (and read more about the London Vegetable Garden Project) here: http://londonvegetablegarden.blogspot.com
She never does it when I am there to chastise her.

I am experimenting with raised beds this year as my soil is so heavy. I will be interested to hear how you get on!
To Richard, why not cover your onions and shallots with fleece rather than use a gun!!
