That is a good list.

A lot of people on allotment sites cover up their plot for the winter but the trick is to grow food to use all year round. Getting two crops from a piece of ground.

KT can you copy/paste some more of it into here?
And its got me thinking, I've sown some Borecole, Cabbage, Kale, Leeks etc so always welcome new ideas or varieties.
In July I'm planning on sowing some more Fennel and carrots, but I think thats as far as I got!
