  • What to plant after broad beans?

    My broad beans are on there last pickings what should I be looking to plant after them? They are in two raised beds should I put in some courgette plants that I have or should I be thinking of winter vegetables?

    Seymour suggests a quick crop of french beans after bored beans, then followed by the winter brassicas - which (if you are terribly organised like wot I am not) you will have growing in pots already to pop in!

        Courgettes would be fine if you have the plants ready. I'm having to bend the crop rotation rules and put stuff wherever there is space at the moment.

          I've just cut down the broadies and have just sown spring cabbage so the space will have a few weeks in which to become a riot of weeds. Can't help that!

                I've nearly finished picking my Autumn sown Aqualunce Claudia and red seeded Epicure and am about to start on my spring sown Bunyards Exhibition which are currently over six foot high!

                    Cut my broads down yesterday and composted it all. Had a lovely crop and have lots frozen. Spring Cabbage is the only cabbage I really like so will put a couple of rows in.

                    Was going to plant my Leeks but they've died , no biggie though...
