Thoughts on following on...

[salilah]

I'm working on the plan for the veg plot (garden raised beds rather than a lottie) and wondered if you could share your experience!

What follows on well from what?

I've got some idea of timings to get things in - or at least when to sow - but I'm much less sure of when I can assume that things are finished (or at least close to finished so something else can go in)!

For info, the starting stuff will be

* Leaves followed by kale
* Leaves followed by sprouts
* Climbing French Bean
* Dwarf French Bean
* Peans
* Courgette
* Chard
* Beetroot
* Onions (red, from seed)
* Broad Beans (spring sown)
* Bush tomatoes
* Sweetcorn (with beans & courgettes)

Any suggestions much appreciated!
thanks

Thank you! That's given me some ideas...

I think I probably leave things too long - waiting for the last possible courgette or the last possible broad bean - rather than dig up earlier to replace.
The other challenge is for climbing french bean which I like to leave to dry the beans - which means they are there until November! I guess I'm stuck there

I'm trying out a couple of mini polytunnels (or Portable Plant Protectors as the manufacturers call them!) so this might also allow a bit more overwintering / early spring
