Make sure your box has good drainage and put a layer of stones in the bottom to be extra sure. Fill it with newly bought compost and dig in some concentrated manure like 6x (read the instructions!) or some fish, blood and bone. Or even better, start a home compost bin and fill it with soil from that. I hope your plastic box is strong because soil is heavy stuff!
Get started soon, because summer’s on it’s way and some veg need an early start!
There’s so much info I could give you but I don’t have time to write down EVERYTHING you need to know. All the basic advice is on the backs of seed packets you buy, so pay attention to them. You can also get loads of veg-specific growing advice from the sites below:

I especially recommend growing courgettes/zucchini, french beans, peas and lettuces; they’re all really really easy!
Good luck!
