courgettes are dead easy and you get rewards fast, and the good news is that you can share all this bounty with your friends and neighbours
Radishes and spring onions are easy and rewarding as well. Little Gem lettuces and there are still onion sets in the shops.
You could clear a small bed first and plant it up so you have something to give you a boost while tackling the next bed, and the next and so on
