oh gosh, where do i begin!
« on: November 09, 2009, 22:41 »
hello,  recently aquired a plot on my in laws farm. its (roughly, because is haven't seen it in daylight for a while) 5 by 7 meters so on the fair old side. it is covered in grass but i know how to deal with that, scoop it up and compost it or fold it on itself. never take on more than you can chew, sort out one plot at a time or end up running away screaming!

no, my question, is what sort of thing should i grow to begin with, I've got some amazing tomato cuttings, but i find tomatos so boring and can plant them till next year. does anyone have any suggestions for somehing to grow over the winter to get myself started?

Yup = get the overwintering onion sets & garlic bulbs.

And should still just have time to sow some Autumn-sown broad beans (Aquadulce).

Lamb's lettuce, for winter-long fresh salad.

Broad beans, some varieties of peas.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
