Tell me about it. Have leeks (pencil thick for once!) waiting to follow new potatoes, many autumn/winter brassicas waiting to follow broad beans, spare squashes. And that's not to mention seeds that I've not even opened :-)

Had very little from my plot jan-June in first year, and doing everything to fill that gap this time!

I seem to have acquired this shrinking plot syndrome as well  :ohmy: and yet we've gone from a half plot to a full plot this year... seems I may have got carried away germinating seeds for types of veg we've not had room to grow before, and have now completely run out of space. I'm now attempting to trying to grow lettuce in cat litter trays... anyone know if these will be deep enough for the roots? (They're a cos variety)

Thanks peedee, will look out for some of those. Growing lettuce is a new one for us as we've never had the space before, and just working out what I can grown in trays and what I need to keep in the ground.
