Default Which winter veg to grow?


We cleared one row of early potaoes this week to make space for a batch
of oriental salad greens which we had seeded a few weeks ago. Another
row will be coming out today and we shall sow a quick catch crop of
radish and other roots, to be lifted very young. If you don't have
anything in particular to put in, the ground can be left open to fallow
either until late summer/autumn planting or till next spring. Or you
could dribble a sowing of green manure seed in and turn that in before
any seed heads begin to mature.



Thank you.

What exactly is green manure seed? I can imagine but what exactly do I buy?

Incidentally, I planted Kohlrabi and Corvet F1 Broccoli in seed beds from
where I transplanted to rows. I still have loads of plants left in the seed
beds which, although cramped and having no space in which to mature, are
looking remarkably healthy. Is there any point at all in transplanting
these now into the vacant potato plot?
