Tara.F Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 dwarf french beans? they're quick and easy florence fennel? rainbow chard? a mixture of all those would look (and taste) lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You could put brassica plants in for use over winter? - or leeks for winter use as well? http://www.delfland.co.uk have wonderful plant packages and also tell you what to plant/sow and when. Edit: the above link explains who they are but this one http://www.organicplants.co.uk/ is their online shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Curly kale, perpetual spinach and chard for winter would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Mizuna, or any quick growing salad should be fine, and is great to ahve salad on the go. Beetroot - you should be able to find a variety for later sowing. Carrots - as above Courgettes - fairly late for putting seed in, but you'd get away with it. Alternatively, buy a couple plants from garden centre. 2 really will be enough!!!! Florence fenel & brassica, as already suggested Garlic and onions for overwintering - maybe a little early for them, but should be fine Or you could try potatoes for winter new potatoes: if you earth them up and use by Christmas then whould get away with it.
