Potatoes up - now what?
« on: July 21, 2012, 17:30 »
Was going to put runners in, but had to leave the potatoes longer than anticipated. So now I have two lovely empty raised beds, about 2 sq m each.  What can I do with them?

I have sown today:

coriander, raddicchio, florence fennel and khol rabi

and planted out some lettuce seedlings and some module grown spring onion clumps

Tomorrow will sow mooli, turnip seed and spinach

Hope that helps

I tried an early lot in the greenhouse, a sound plan i thought, until the dratted slugs got the lot  :mad:

That's why I had the seed in my box ;)
