I have just thought that when i dig up my earlies and second earlies i will be left with a bare patch of earth.
Is there anything i can plant after the spuds have gone?

leeks usually go after spuds or you can do courgettes and squashes/pumpkins start them off in pots/trays  so they're well grown when the spuds come out. :)
Or you can do late peas/beans as they can go anywhere in the rotation ::)

You can also grow carrots in that nice soft ground.
There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

If you do not have an urgent crop to plant then sow a short termgreen manure to smother weeds and dig in. Mustard or phacelia.
