Did my plan worng!

[gilwrig]

Hi All

For some reason when I was drawing up my plan this year I completely missed out two 2.4 beds * 1.2m beds which has given me nearly 6sqm on shich to plant more stuff!!!!

My question is - what would you grow ( that you don't already) if you suddenly had more space.

Look foward to some interesting suggestions.

Anything you want more of, in essence.

The free squash seeds from GYO mag that I hadn't planned on ......

[Nicos]

Asparagus bed!

[gilwrig]

Yes definately those squash as they look rather funky ... already have an asparagus bed in nicos but I love asparagus so I could have another one

[smallfrog]

shed shed shed or greenhouse only half a plot and not really enough room. shame you can't get seeds for them either :O)

Onions! I always rut out halfway through the year

[Glutton4...]

I'm with Nicos; Asparagus, definitely. (My folks have a bed, but it's not big enough!) I also think more Onions, or perhaps Perpetual Spinach, as I can't get enough of that either.

Far better you have two extra beds than two too few!

I'd grow a bed of flowers for cutting! Loads of carnations, pinks, cosmos, dahlias, delphiniums, candytuft, mignionette, asters, evening primrose, lilies, gypsophila.... sorry - was drifting off into flower heaven there!
How big was the space again?

Oh - I like that idea....you can save a fortune growing your own flowers!!!!

Some gourds especially the Autum Glory great for table decoration and halloween and something completly different easy for the children

[gilwrig]

ooh more flowers I like that idea ... thanks.

Sadly I would have a shed but we aren't allowed structures of any kind on our plot... I've always dreamed of having a shed ( a bit strange for a girl I know)

Oh - I don't know!!!!

....Bit like a giant dolls house with no housework


so- what flowers do you have in mind???

[gilwrig]

LOL - I think I'd just like to sit in the doorway and drink tea in my wellies

I was thinking of going with coneflowers as I have a big clump in the garden that I need to divide. Funnily enough there are 100 free summber bulbs in this months GW so I think I may just have found a home for them.
