1. Nail the planks together to create a square frame.
2. Fill the frame with soil and compost.
3. Use your heel to mark out shallow lines in the soil.
4. Sow the seeds in a line and cover them with soil.
5. Write the name of the vegetable on a tag and stick into the soil next to the row. This will remind you what you've planted.
6. You can sow different seeds in each row so you end up with a selection of your favourite veggies.
