    There's sweetcorn and squash and courgettes, shouldn't they be ok? you could even use the same bed as the beans for squash at the same time.

Onions, at a push, can be bought pretty cheaply if that's a last option. Although they wouldn't taste as nice, and you dont really know how they've been grown.
      I have grown clubroot resistant cabbages and cauli's for a couple of years now, just not in this area. The garlic was grown in this area and succumbed to white rot even though it was started off in modules. Onion sets got white rot and my cabbages and calabrese are clubroot infested. Thanks or the suggestions though BW!

          I seem to remember watching a programme a while ago about a chap who grew brassicas in his clubroot infested plot by scooping out a reasonable sized hole and filling it with fresh compost and a bit of lime. Gave the plants enough of a start to get a decent root system going before hitting the infected soil. Might be worth a try...
