Just looking for confirmation I haven't planned anything too stupid before commiting...

Now, you just need to decide on what crops will follow the peas and broad beans, as soon as they are harvested

Looks good, just make sure you've allowed enough width for broccoli and cauliflowers, and consider how you will protect them from birds and butterflies ...

I've ordered some fleece which shoudl be good at least while they are small. I'm not sure how long you can continue to keep them covered with fleece?

[mumofstig]

You have to keep them covered all the time, or else they get eaten to shreds by cabbage white butterflies 
Most people use hoops and netting like this

I've looked at staggering the rows of caulis & broccoli and growing one less of each, but it doesn't buy much space?

Another thought is to plant every other in late April and then fill-in the gaps mid to late May, with the idea being that by the time the second batch start need room many/most of the first batch will have been harvested.

Is either plan better?

Thoughts?

Maybe main crop spuds; brussels; over winter onions?

If you use wire netting just make sure the brassica leaves don't get near it or the butterflies will be able to lay their eggs on them via their ovipositors. BTW, it's one of my favourite words!
