Sez - welcome aboard.

I'm in Hull and I guess my soild is v similar to yours.

Snadge is right - I think we can do most things except those that need loose soil to quite a depth. But there are always ways to do things. Talked to an old timer the other day who rams some pvc tubing into the gound, pulls it out and then fills the hole with loose sandy soil and places seedlings on top. Carrots can be achieved by creating a separate box to plant in, or by planting short varieties - I'm going to try a bite-size round one this year.

See my blog for the struggles I've had on clay so far.
