Hi all,

Ok, my brassica bed is ready and willing but obviousely my brassicas are just a twinkle in the seed packet at the moment.
Generally my brassica seedlings don't go out for another few months so the bed will be empty.

I will be planting my onion sets, garlic, Early carrots, potatos and early peas within the next few weeks or so, so those beds will be getting used.

But what do you guys put in the brassica bed if anything to make use of the empty space early on?

to be honest i dont think anything would grow in time, you could try lettuce's or raddish?

Not much that will germinate in the cold and be ready quickly. Maybe radishes or some of those chinese leaves?

I'd put nothing in.

It does the soil good not to have the pants kicked out of it all the time.

my brassica bed still got its green manure on it! Gonna be a big job diggin it all in!!!

[leeks r us]

I let mine stand empty stompy as DD says give the soil the time to recover a little.

Ok, i'll cover it with porous weed supressant material then until planting time.

Thanks guys
