After my recent disaster I'm after some ideas for what I can grow in my polytunnel.
I'm open to all weird and wonderful ideas .just don't mention tomatoes

When you have a hammer in your hand everything around you starts looking like a nail. -
I can think of kales and chards mostly because I've sown some Kale today.Location....East Midlands. -
I'm trying inca berries this year. They seem to like the extra heat of the PT and are now flowering so I'll see how that goes and whether they are worth growing again - they take up almost as much room as cordon tomatoes do.
Strawberries have been brilliant in the PT. Had mine in hanging baskets and that beat the slugs and birds eating them.
Thinking of experimenting with carrots in deep hanging baskets under cover as well. Whether that will beat the carrot fly I don't know but worth trying.LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs.Comment

Are you after something to grow now? You could try a quick crop of dwarf beans? Pop to your local garden centre and see what they are selling off? You may be able to pick up a chilli plant or two. I start of spring cabbages in August, same as Bren some Kales etc will give a crop under cover. You could try some oriental veg?Comment

Kale / PSB / other brassicas? Fruit? Cucumbers or beans if you can get some plants - or to be fair you could risk seeds and see what happens, mine are still teeny anyway!
I can spare a few chilli plants if you want some - although I will warn you that they are currently rather neglected!!

I'm growing french beans and courgettes. When my t******s are over, I'll be putting in lettuce and strawberries, lettuce for overwinter and strawberries for early 2017.Comment
