What can I put in my wee space?
« on: August 03, 2009, 12:29:25 »
Right, have lifted the last of my tatties and now I've got a wee space.  I've already put in some extra carrots, beetroot, fennel and bunching onions, and I suppose I could put some more of each in, but can anyone suggest something else to try that it's not too late for?  I suppose I could move some of the purple brocoli plants but I've got loads of those, probably too many.  Any suggestions gratefully received!!!

Thanks for tips.  Never tried orientals before, not sure what to do with them.  Are they just for eating raw like lettuce?  Sorry if I'm being thick!  Just had a look at the more veg site and it's great and really cheap as well, I've been paying much more for seeds.  Might give spring cabbage a go as never tried them before.

Lizann do bear in mind that you pay less at MoreVeg for less seed which is good if you only want small quantities. I can also say that their service is really excellent.

A small amount is fine as I've not got a lot of space, raised beds and pots really.

Same here as I've only got a small half plot allotment. I bought all my vegetable seeds for this year from them for just under £10, and it was post free!  I happily recommend them.
