Re flowers. I always work to 10% flowers and the rest veggies. Also, find out what you are going to eat, don't just grow something for growing sake, grow veg that you will eat :happy:.
But first and foremost, get a gas stove for your cuppa tea
. That's more important than working your plot
. I also have a bucket type BBQ as well to make sausage/bacon butties, and then go from there
