Default West facing wall. What veg to grow?

We have jumped the gun and put in some broad beans and quite a few
goosegogs.



Broad beans are fine and even early peas just look on the back of the
seed packet and you'll see when they recommend.
Now's the time to plant fruit trees of course (soil is still warm)

There's some very good varieties of Rhubarb especially any with
Champagne in the name.
Winter lettuce might be okay of you buy plants or even try sowing a late
variety in pots then planting outdoors.

Not quite what you meant by vegetables, perhaps, but Loganberries and
Tayberries can take a fair amount of shade, and won't take-up a lt of
space if grown against the wall, or over it.


Thanks RH,

Something we had not thought of, and we are going to plant some fruit
bushes anyway so this might be the ideal spot.


I was going to suggest cordoning a couple of fruit trees (probably on
dwarfing stock) along the top edge of the wall, with fruit bushes in
front of it. Could be fun.
