this year I've scaled down a lot as the veggie patch isn't huge...

lettuces (first lot went in 3 weeks ago - a few more weeks to harvest). These are great as you just keep adding more over the spring/summer. Barbecue ash around the plot prevents snail/slugs entering.

Tomatoes - 2x cherry, 1x classic grappe, 2x russe, 1x bulls heart.

Cucumbers - 5 plants gone in, 3 will grow.

Lots of herbs like chives, basil, parsley, thyme

Simple but effective. From June through September, we don't have to buy any of those veggies, which we eat a lot of!

--edit
try to put in some flowering plants to attract the pollinators for a better crop...
