henny penny Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi I'm just lifting some potatoes and my onions and wondered what everyone is planting in their place? and whether anyone is making more sowings for late summer/autumn? Yesterday - i sowed some lettuces, pak choi, mizuna in part of the space and not sure what else to sow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 spinach, chard, turnips, radishes, if you can find some plants you could plant leeks, maybe autumn carrots, they wouldn't get huge but you would get a crop. brassica plants like spring cabbage and cauliflowers. Edited to say herbs like parsley that will then stand over the winter. I quite often plant coriander and parsley at this time of year and get better results than earlier sowings.

Lesley Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm planting brassicas in place of the potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Several places around me are suggesting planting potatoes now for Christmas. Can I really do this and if so, would it be ok to plant them where the potatoes were /are now as long as I rotate next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
