Lovestuff, give it a go, I'm not sure how much your four raised beds will grow - not very good at maths but they sound like a good size to me.
I reckon onions and spuds are the 'basics' for me and I feel, grow them if you grow nothing else. I think your strawberries will survive the winter - mine did, last year.


Lislaw, the last two years were very rainy and with little sunshine, I found that tomatoes did very badly as well. I'm still going to give them another try this year, though, will start them off indoors and move them outside when we (hopefully)get some better sunny weather this year.

I agree with you about the carrots - I grew mine in a bin last year and they were the tastiest ever. Onions were pretty small and not very good, again I feel they were 'washed out' - that's what they tasted like anyway.
