  • Advice on what to plant where please

    I've not got a very big garden, and my veggie patch is a raised bed (which formerly housed loads of shrubs and plants and trees - all of which got freecycled, because none of them were edible!) which is about 3 foot deep (front to back) by 20 foot long ish.

    I'm growing spuds in pots (3x those potato bag ones and 1x huge plant pot one - bigger than those bags), will be doing toms and peppers in 10L Morrisons' flower pots, chillis in the 5L Morrisons' pots, spinach, chard, perpetual spinach, onions, spring onions, carrots, runner beans, kale, amaranths, psb, pak choi and chinese cabbage in (or to go in) the raised bed. However, I have one cucumber plant and three courgettes to put in, plus, having just got my dig in seeds today, would like to grow the butternut squash. So..

    I have the following space..and would like some advice as to which would grow best in which space.

    3x normal grow bags
    1x "reusable" extra deep grow bag (it's the same length-ish and width as a growbag, but about 50cm deep and is divided into 3 - but only by plastic strips at the top)
    2x 3' square plots in the raised bed
    Morrisons' pots

    Ta!

    Hi and welcome! Courgettes squashes and cucumber all need plenty of space but the roots don't go too deep so some depth and lots of width is what you're looking for. You could interplant with lettuces and pak choi etc as the could grow quickly underneath as they don't like too much sun and they grow quickly.

      I've already done the pak choi/other stuff other places, so don't really have the room for much in the beds.

      Would squashes grow in pots/growbags?
