Growing my own veggies - a question and any other newbies?

not going to plant anything else just yet, going to read up and listen to any advice on all my veggies!

Hullo! Another newbie here! I have planted up a blackberry cane in an old bin, and I've bought seeds for tomatoes, strawberries, cut-and-come-again lettuce and a few herbs. I may be getting a wee bit carried away! Oh, and I got a half-price mushroom growing kit in Woolies today after reading the Window-box Allotment. I am in a flat, so it's all containers for me.

was hoping to find some veg to plant in pots as we have a fair sized patio area that I could possibly use

That all sounds great, these loads of mini veg you can buy now for pots. :T

Camomile Tea on indoor seedlings, will reduce Damping Off.

Companion Plants eg
Beans Grow near CARROTS & CAULIFLOWER
Grow away from ONIONS & GARLIC
BROCCALI With NASTURTIUM to keep Aphids off
CARROTS Both THYME & LEEKS repels Carrot Root Fly
CABBAGE Grown near SAGE, ROSEMARY & CELERY deters Cabbage White Fly
PEAS Near a POTATO crop, TURNIP & RADISH does well
Inhibited by the Onion Family
PARSELY Helps nearby TOMATOES & ROSES
POTATOES Never near PUMPKINS or RASPBERRIES
TOMATO With ASPARAGUS & BASIL DOES WELL. Hindered by FENNEL
& CABBAGES
TURNIP Does well with PEAS
