    Easy stuff like salads which are quick and can be relatively expensive and don't need special kit.  If you can provide a well prepared bed - loads of compost and/or manure to improve fertility and moisture retention - then you can grow runner beans, green beans, squashes, pumpkins and courgettes.

    If you have a greenhouse or polytunnel, tomatoes, cucumbers, chilies, aubergines.

    Herbs are always good for lifting flavour and those wee packs of fresh herb can be expensive - 132€ a kilo here if you check the price for a wee pack of coriander so have a go at parsley, basil, tarragon, coriander, thyme.
