In what order should I grow the following please?
Hi All,
I just got round to making two 8' x 6' areas I hope to call my mini allotment. It's previous role was a small rough (back garden) meadow. ;-( I have been given some runner bean plants and std toms and I intend to put those in where they (beans) were before for a couple of years along the West side of a N/S paneled fence (loads of crop the last two years). It could be runner beans are my ultimate crop in that they are fairly prolific, seem quite hardy (even against blackfly), don't take much looking after and I like the taste. ;-) Last years spring onions are out there in big tubs and still seem to be growing well! ;-) I have also got some small Brussel sprout plants, some cabbage, and sprouting potatoes waiting to go in. Still in their packets I have: Swede (Ruby) May - June Carrot (Nantes) Mar - July) Chives / Garlic Mar - May Radish (French Breakfast 3) Mar - Sept Lettuce (Saladin) Mar - July Parsnip (Tender and true) Feb - Mar Spring Onion (White Lisbon) Mar - July Onion (Ailsa Craig) year 1 Dec? and another Lettuce (Salad bowl) mid summer The two growing areas are across the garden and a paving slab apart so could someone please advise: 1) What order should I plant the above from back to front (the back being furthest North). I'm assuming complete 8' rows of plants? 2) Assuming we like all of the above is there anything I shouldn't really bother with this late in the year (if global warming hasn't mucked up the schedules already), what is likely to just waste growing space do you think please? This is all just an experiment for the daughter and I and if we do get something we can eat out of it then that will be a bonus. ;-) All the best .. T i m p.s. A mate has suggested growing the spuds under that black porous fabric if that makes any difference to the plan for above. |
