Default What veg and herbs etc. are easy to grow in the uk?

I have recently done up my garden and have some space, not a great deal, but some. I am wndering what veg or herbs I can grow that I can eat. I already have Rosemary, Corriander, Basil, Thyme and Garlic groing.....
What else can you do in a small space???? It's about 3m by 0.5m at present but can be extended to... erm 6m if need be.

Sage is quite pretty to grow and can be used for making stuffing. But if I had any more space in my garden I would grow blueberries- they are absolutely yummy, incredibly good for you and far too expensive in the shops. By comparison, vegetables are cheap. My daughter grew sugar snap peas very easily but you have to like them to eat.

You could add chives and parsley to your herbs. Parsley makes a nice edging plant and both those can be sewn in autumn.
Next year, you could try runner beans, these can be grown up a wigwam, they look attractive and give a good yield in a small area. Also try outdoor tomatoes, gardener's delight live up to their name.

If you can take a look at some of the container gardening books such as The Edible Container Garden, they may give some more ideas on what you can grow in a small space.

Mint, Rosemary and fennel seem to be the easiest.
I did try and grow coriander and parsley but my cat kept peeing on it and it died!

I love having a nice herb garden.

Egyptian mint, or parsley, keep in pot stand on bricks though spreads like mad but will last the heaviest of winters

Most in the summer, few in winter, go onto a gardening website.
