After the potato rush
« on: 09 June, 2008, 07:04:42 pm »
(as Niel Young once sung)

What would you recommend that I put in as I harvest each row of pots?  I don't want to leave the ground vacant as it'll just weed up, plus I want more food .  But at the same time I'm wondering if planting stuff intot he potato bed straight away will bugger up the crop rotation?

Squashes of some description? Ours went in only a few weeks ago, and they don't really affect crop rotation. Or maybe an autumn crop of peas?
