Default Spare plot - veg?

I have a small raised bed from where I have just cleared out
strawberry plants: all strawberries were very small and deformed
(bought new from B&Q as plants earlier this year).

Any suggestions for vegetable crops to be sown in it now?




I think that you have been hasty. I am sure they would have produced nicely
next year. They do like to be properly rooted before producing quality. IMO
However, the deed is done.
I think it is too late to grow anything long term other than christmas new
potatoes. A few sown now would be ready for scrubbing as early as Sept and
well into Jan. 2014.
Letuce and radish? As a bit of a salad crop?
You can try spring cabbage. Everybody likes spring cabbage.

Good luck
