What to plant after potatoes have been lifted?

[smudger28]

Hi guys

I was wondering what I could plant in place of the potatoes once they are lifted?

Onions and Legumes normally follow my Pots for crop rotation.

I don't want to waste a whole plot....

Cheers guys

[cornykev]

A B or C take your pick.   ;D

[Trevor_D]

I think I might go for leeks myself....

Can u leeka be sown direct?

[Bugloss2009]

whaddaya mean you don't like leeks?!   ;D

[manicscousers]

We're also doing some squash and courgettes after some of the potatoes this year, but, yes, leeks too  ;D

[smudger28]

Hahah could it be Leeks then?

Can Leeks still be sown?

Thanks Guys

to be contrary i say since the ground is now loose since you dug the potatoes
I go with carrots and other summer root crops like mooli

[Bugloss2009]

I think it's probably too late to sow seeds now, but i'm happy to hear a second opinion. Maybe you can buy trays of plants. And for future reference, although they say you can sow seeds direct, it's actually a disaster doing that, as are spring onions btw.
There's lots to sow though - all the salads, carrots, beetroot, winter radish, moolii, fennel, courgettes, chicory and endive (if you can tell the difference  :D ), dwarf french beans,  and at the end of the summer, normal radishes and the chinese leaves like pak choi

I have all sort queuing up for the space.  Beans, brassicas, beetroot, carrots, salads.

Winter cauli's

What about a green manure?

[Allotment-junkie]

what about a row of Outdoor Tomatoe plants its the same season for both Pots and Toms so it should be Ok ?

[smudger28]

Thanks for all your suggestions!!

I will have a chat with the boss and then she'll decide  ;D

I don't think it will be Tomatoes as we are a blight hotspot and I have 22 plants in the polytunnel.

Thanks guys

Butternut Squash

[antipodes]

My first earlies are being lifted and replaced with kale and brussel sprouts. My leeks didn't work this year and I have not found any plants so I might end up doing without I think. Probably get some pak choi in there later on and autumn corn salad (lambs lettuce).

[smudger28]

We are thinking of putting in some more butternut squash....

Thanks for all the suggestions!
