Hi fishkeeper & welcome. Saw your post on the Welcome forum.

Next couple of months we'll be thinking about the spring caulis & cabbage, towards September there's the winter onions & garlic. There's loads more but I'll leave that to others to add.

I'd risk a few more peas, the 15 you've sown is only about enough for a foot (30 cm) row, but don't leave it too late, otherwise you may run into mildew problems.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Hi ya :) You can sow winter cabbages(just sown mine) ready for transplanting when you're ready and you can sow swede in June. Autumn carrots and more French beans.
If you're quick you can still sow ridge cucumber, courgette and pumpkin if you haven't already.(start indoors or direct sow outside). Lots of salad greens as well!

Hello again fishkeeper

I've just sown purple sprouted broccoli for next spring and will be sowing pak choi later next week, as well as more radishes, mixed salad, lettuce and winter carrots, as well as a few extra runner beans  :D

If you're lucky, you get a lb of peas per foot of row.

In a 4' x 1.5' bed I'd put one 4' row.

Typical pea spacing:

You'd struggle. Certainly nothing in between the peas. You may get away with some salad crops on the edges of your bed.

Keep on putting in small amounts of salads every 2 weeks or so. Peas, french beans as follow-ons to your early crops.
