What are the easiest Veg to Grow , I have pebbly soil and quite a shady garden thanks to the trees.
Would it be worth getting a raised bed with compost to position somewhere on my patio which has at least some sunlight.
I appreciate your thoughts

Swiss chard doesn't mind a bit of shade, but it will need watering if the soil is dry because of the trees.
Dwarf French beans are pretty easy to grow too, and don't mind a bit of shade ... again they'll need watering if the soil is very dry.
You could grow 'cut and come again' salad stuff in a raised bed on the patio which should keep you supplied all summer without too much effort.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks Dove , How about Potatoes , Onions , Garlic , These things I use alot and I hear they have a better taste if you grow yourself
All the things you mention are in the soil for a long time. If I were you I would take Dove's advice and grow things which are quick to give results.
Thank you for all giving me something to think about
