Planting has started

Done quite well this week, most of the digging has been done, planted my Potatoes, broad beens, onion sets, 1 lot of peas. and got my Bean poles ready. When i planted my potatoes, I had dug it a few weeks earlier then covered it with black weed supressent, and wow i must say found it much easier to plant in, the soiil was lovely and soft, unlike where my peas were going which wasnt covered, so thats a lesson learnt for me... Dig then cover for a few weeks before planting!
I have also sown seed of lettuce, white turnip and beetroot. below are a few pics...

Your garden looks lovely. You all are much earlier then we are here in my part of the states, we have to wait at least a month yet before we start planting...

I like how your garden is laid out in sections and paths in between. I tried to grow my beans on "teepes" the last couple years but here in KY they get too thick half way and further up. or maybe I put in too many seeds. I like your trellis idea.
