Potatoes and squashes are manure hungry plants. If it was me, they would be going in.

Plant what you like to eat and if it is also expensive in the shops, a double benifit.

Get them seeds in. . . . Cheers, Tony.

So what else are you planning to grow?

[yellow strawberry]

lots of stuff ,,,was just wondering what was best to put on them ,,trying to do my plan got 8 beds left 3 have got manure on them

The main things to avoid would be carrots and parsnips.

Beans, brassicas, squash, tomatoes, peas?

Shame about the potatoes, they'd have loved it and your carrots could have gone in the pots.

the potatoes have already gone in manured beds ,so no worries there

think i will use them for brassicas

According to Charles Dowding in his No Dig book he says you can sow anything into well rotted manure. Says it is not true that carrots fork because of manure.

It's fresh manure apparently that forks them, and excess nitrogen that makes the carrot grow all hairy on the root
