Post by Daz »

My tomatoes, although laden with fruits, are struggling to ripen due to the rubbish weather. Have you tried spring onions and radishes? You should be able to get a crop out of them I would have thought.

spinach, or perpetual spinach, might be able to try kale and mizuna.
And garlic for next year maybe.

Hi, I grow potatoes all year round in mine, also some herbs, mint,rosemary, chives. You could try miniature cabbages etc ready for winter. If I think of anything else will get back to you :)
