Title: What next
Post by: Miss Fenella on June 20, 2007, 19:06:26
what can I put in after I have finished my pots?
Could be either veg or cut flowers but thought I'd start planning now.

Thanks in advance   :-*

Winter greens my lot have just nicely germinated. Will prick them out within the next few days ready for planting out when I have lifted my earlies.

By the way in case you think this is a bit late ! let me tell you I haven't even started lifting yet and won't be for at least another couple of weeks.

So really I am about on time!!

We face this dilemma every year - what to follow the earlies with that won't drive a coach and horses through out rotation plan. So this year we will mainly be planting chard
