Hi Michael, thats a promising batch of healthy looking plants. your biggest problem will be keeping weeds under control in your newly dug-over bed so I recommend using your lawn clippings around the plants after they have settled in, as a mulch. keep adding a layer of a few cm each time you mow the lawn and it will not only smother weeds in between your plants but feed them a little as it breaks down too. They can get hot if too thick so a little at a time is the way to go. Also be sure to keep on the alert for slugs and snails who will make a beeline for all the tender new greenery.
