New Toy!

[sparkyaj]

At long last my new rotovator arrived this week. I've already put it to work. The question is now - what to plant.?

I tried spuds last year which were the worst ever so I’ve kind of gone off that idea. Runner beans are a must and I would like to grow allot of smaller things like carrots and parsnips etc. Previous years have always resulted in small veg. No matter what I try they always end up about an inch long and horrid.

Any ideas please??

"whatever you like to eat" - all the salad veg are some of my faves; tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, letuces.

Well done with the rotovator - I did my beds this morning and they look great! Where did you get it from? And was it very expensive?

Its a briggs and stratton 6.5hp was 280 inc shipping from a shop on flea bay ;-)

Hope the deeper dig will help with roots this year.

If you want to grow big vegetables give them plenty of room to grow like 30 inches between spud rows and the same for peas do not crowd stuff give it space it do's help jacob
