I'd avoid potatoes for 2 reasons: they take up a lot of room, and they aren't keen on alkaline conditions (mushroom compost is often a little alkaline).

Other than that, there isn't much which you can't grow in them.  You might struggle to fit a wigwam for climbing / runner beans in a bed of that size.

What do you like to eat?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

They will all work well in raised beds.

You need to be starting leek seeds off pretty soon in a seed tray if you're growing them from seed.

The others don't get started off quite yet, have a look at the sowing chart.  Some people sow beetroot, rocket, carrots etc seeds at 2-3 week intervals so that you get crops over a longer period rather than a huge amount all at once.

You can print the page. Just right click and you'll see the print option.

What browser are you using, Safari? Is there no print option?

Does it have a print option in its menus? I'm not familiar with Safari at all..

According to the Apple Support Communities:

You might want to try using Grab which is in the Utilities folder in Applications. It will allow you to select a portion of the screen and then you can print the result.

This means nothing to me, but hopefully it will be useful to you. :)
