Getting the veggie patch going

So, after the slugs and snails devoured my first lot of tomato and egg plant seedlings, I am ready to give it another go. Today i bought seedlings in 4 different varieties of tomatoes, and some Long Purple eggplant seedlings, as well as some seed raising mix and some complete fertiliser for fruiting plants. today was dreadfully windy, and my seedlings got wind burned really badly, and we are supposed to have a cold few days, so i am leaving off planting for a few more days, but soon, my garden will be full of plants and i will have seed trays full of heirloom variety eggplants coming up :) So here are some photos (not mine) of what i will be growing this year.

Snow Peas

there are a few things still left over from last year too, like the loganberries , boysenberries and raspberries, which are flowering like crazy, also some broad beans that re-seeded themselves, some rocket, and my herb garden. all in all, it is going to be a very full veggie patch this year, provided the snails keep out of it :)
