Silver linings and unexpected bonuses

It occured to me as I weeded away on the plot today, how things work themselves out in the end 

Last year, the dreadful weather meant I has space at the end of the summer, I don't usually have.  So I bought a load of cabbage plants and stuck them in and Sunshineband gave me spare red cabbage plants.  I also sowed chard and mustard greens and with those and the leeks that were already in, we ate really well all winter.

This year, the spuds are late, so looking around for space for leeks.  OK can see some there and there and then when the spuds do come out, I can repeat the brassica bounty for this winter 

Left to my own devices I get carried away with summer crops and never leave enough room for winter stuff 

I am lazy and usually buy quite a few of mine   

And as if by magic, the DT Brown catalogue arrived yesterday with packs of mixed winter veg plants on offer, so you can try a few of lots of things    I feel a serious read and decision making session coming on.  Will tide me over till my ultimate treat of seed catalogue shopping 

That's my plan Salmonking  Winter stuff will be going in when the spuds come out 

If you are growing from seed, you need to start pretty soon, but the plants can be transplated to their final postions later.  Some people do seed rows on the plot, some sow in pots or modules and lazy people like me buy in      The DT Brown catalogue says dispatch mid -August/September depending on what you buy, so plenty of time yet
