Low maintenance, low effort crops to grow to save time to be diverted elsewhere?

[Samuel1988]

Morning all,

I am still currently doing some 'big works' down my allotment plot (such as setting up the recycling area and water butt collection areas) and so I think I am going to skip growing crops which need that bit of 'extra' attention.

I was just wondering what crops can I plant in which take the least looking after after upon planting?

Next year once everything is in shape I will be able to grow more varieties!

Plant what you like. You may be surprised what survives with little or no care at all. If you've no time to water, then space everything much more widely so it has a bigger area to draw on.

Potatoes.
It's getting a bit late, but you may find earlies will mature in time.

I agree with MH, Bung in whatever you can Samuel - just get sowing and growing.
Big leaved plants like Courgettes and pumpkins, especially trailing ones, take up lots of space and cover the ground.
