Afternoon all.
i dug up all the potatoes yesterday, and its amazing how nicely theyve broken up the almost pure manure they were planted into, without the plants though, it does look a little bare - what, if anything, can i plant now that will thrive on the soil post-potatoes?
Cheers everyone.

My potato bed is full of leeks now......
or brussels or very soon overwintering onions
Leeks in, and overwintering onions soon too
I could do some leeks and brussells then! Are they both raised from seed, or it it best to start them off in my greenhouse and plant out?
Well, my leeks are seedlings sown in the spring....the same goes for brussels. Can you get hold of some plants?
This is a good site for suggesting anything worth sowing now:

PS much of my potato patch is waiting for autumn sown broad beans, which have always done well for me.
I was wondering this so I think i'll put in broad beans.
Leeks are in at the moment with more to follow, but make sure the ground is firmed down first. ;D ;D ;D
can you tell me what variety of broad bean you so in the autumn please
aquadulce or nearest spelling match
