Plant broad beans even further apart, I suffered badly from rust - or was it chocolate spot last year?  :unsure:

Plant MORE spuds! Scoffed them sooo quick last year.   ::)

Plant only stuff you are going to eat, not put in 'just to try'  :blush:

Like that Gold!

Next year. we'll dig the spuds earlier, as we missed the creamier stage by a fortnight last year!

Like the blush too - it looks really special!

If I can go again, this is a big one for me also, though I may not have gone along with it 100%, I've cut out a lot of things I almost bought and have kept it to what I enjoy eating. That's why I'm learning after all, to feed me and mine.

Also I will endeavour to plant crops as soon as I can clear one out, to make the most of the space I have. This also applies to green manure.

And that to. Looking back at last year, I didn't have 'gaps', I had HOLES!
