planting after spuds

[sweet-pea]

I've planted earlies for the first time this year, and I was wondering whether it is possible to plant any other crop after they've been harvested?

We have put late courgettes in after first earlies before.

I'm putting overwintering leeks and garlic in after mine (although the spuds are main crops, not earlies).

Mine will become my Squash bed when the covered earlies come out, and the other earlies will be followed by my sweetcorn.

Celery follows spuds OK.

I will follow with a selection of things. Most of the space will be leeks but I also put in some carrots such as Early Nantes which are fairly fast growing.

You could also try module sown beet root and all many of salad crops from normal lettuce through to lambs lettuce or rocket.

This is all great , thanks  :)  I was begginning to wonder where I was going to find the space to plant everything, but now I can plan ahead and plant things after the spuds  :)

I am desperate for the room so as soon as my earlies come out, and my winter planted onion sets, I have trays and pots and trays full of things to fill the gaps! ;D

I always plant leeks after first earlies, sweetcorn after seconds and either onions, broad beans or garlic after maincrop.

I am planning putting all my alliums in where my potatoes are currently (they are in the fourth part of my rotation.) As with chriszog, my leaks will be going where my first earlies are and onions and garlic will go in later.  I have no idea what I am going to use as a filler yet.  As a newbie, I may just resort to green manure.

leeks and garlic sounds good for next year. also, courgette or something to romp when harvested. hmm, maybe i can put another pumpkin in somewhere, too.......

our spuds are over a foot tall and already earthed up twice, btw.
no idea how long they will take to form tubers, but hopefully not too long .

hmm, yummy
