I found a cracking fish box washed up on the shore, now filled with lovely fluffy compost, another blank canvas can't make up my mind what to put in it. Spuds in the raised beds with onions at the back. I have PSB seedlings in greenhouse and leeks also carrots in a big tub and lettuce everywhere. Thats all the room i have (more grass will have to go) oh....and i have 2 courgette plants on the go..........what to do All suggestions welcome

How about something you wouldn't normally grow ? Then if it doesn't work out at least you haven't dug up the garden or wasted precious space.
Every year I try to grow a few different things, this year its purple podded peas, fennel, scorsonneria...scorsoneeria..scor..salsify kinda stuff
All very exciting

Boxes like this are good for carrots which notoriously fork whenever they a) get too much feed or b) encounter the smallest stone. With fine, seived compost you can get a fantastic carrot crop. Easy to cover against carrot fly too, when they are in a container.

Or you could use it for cut and come again lettucy type things. I pick up fish boxes from the local poissonier every Saturday and have all sorts of things growing in them now, including beans. I've even started painting the outside of the boxes so they look better close to the house.

I have yet to find one on the shoreline, think guy down the road must have the first shouts on them! He grows onions, peas, beetroot, salad....in them

Cute dog, my two love their veg too.

Thankyou all....still not made up my mind, but tomorrows another day

It would be good to plant a mix of salad (lettuce/radish/spring onion etc.) a bit later in the year. Then you could move it into the greenhouse in autumn when it started getting colder and extend your cropping season

Left where it is you could put tumbling toms in.

Now theres an idea Tasmin....never tried toms outside before and i have 6 wee tumbling tom plants about 3inches high growing in the gh........
