You can plant onions and garlic now, and broad beans (Aquadulce Claudia) soon.
At least you will feel you have made a start!
Good luck with the new plot.

Don't spend a lot of cash on planks for your beds. Either get them out of skips or do without. You can have beds without wood on the edge.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

a woman near me has raised beds without the wood. Are they called lazy beds? Get one dug over now and stick some garlic in!! a fence? I've not had a fence on either side since I got mine 3 years ago.. :)
