My courgette plants (grown from seed) growing extremelywell in well rotted garden compost - around 8" deep, along with squash and pumkin plants grown from seed.
The peas and beans are wonderful - pods on peas and flowers on beans - runner and French. Growing outdoor cucumbers and hot chilli peppers ( in pots). I grow beetroot, spring onions, radishes, and Chantanay carrots (in troughs). Worked last year so doing again this year. Really its a flower garden My veg plot is one metre square, but my pot plot is around 2 metres by 1 metre (slate covered), and the troughs put anywhere where there is room.
Its a wonderful year for climbing roses and passion flowers. Our dahlias aren't doing too badly either. Its the weeds that get me everytime. They're very prolific this year -
Our pond (with fish) has plastic rings around the edge to keep away the family of herons that frequent our area. But the birds (many varieties), love bathing and splashing and returning to the many nests (provided by my hubby) in the greenery sited around the garden. The problem is the greenery accumulating on the surface, the fish, newts and frogs seem to love it - its unsightly - but with treatment - not insurmountable.
