What can I sow alongside Maincrop?
« on: April 23, 2012, 21:07 »
Today I sowed all of my Desiree & Maris Piper's.

I misjudged the plot size and have 4ft x 16ft free space to sow something else!

Because of crop rotation what can I sow there as i have 64 maincrop seeds in the ground and I think that is more than ample for us (2 adults and toddler)

I was thinking of sowing carrots alongside will that be ok?

A novice gardener and looking forward to getting seriously fit with my allotment!

The allotment is 16 ft wide and roughly 90 ft long split into 8 plots!

Remember that the leaves do grow big and flop about a bit, so don't grow anything right up close to them will you?

Carrots woudl be good -- just cover them well against carrot fly attack  ;) Not too late for parsnips either
