    Potatoes, rhubarb and chili peppers for me. Everything is going neat, especially potatoes (Belle de Fontenay, small outcome, fragile, but so tasty). My garden is not big either (8x4 meters),and was not used for seven years. It's also compact clay so I had to prepare it with a hoe and my bare hands (one hour for one square meter, really), everyone in the village now admires me.

    I was afraid of such heavy soil (and it lacks some depth in my opinion) since I grew up in a very sandy place before moving where I am, but it's incredibly rich and has a very good water reserve, it won't need fertiliser for one year or two, then I'll incorporate the thick layer of weed-roots I spent so much time destroying. Kicks my *** too!
