Essentially I have a bed with cabbage and peas/beans at the moment (BED 1). Once the beans and peas are dont late winter I am guessing, I will take advantage of the nitrogen the beans and peas have pumped INTO the soil and plant more brassicas (cabbage and broc etc). The beans and peas will then move to Bed 3 which at the moment is not really being used but for some lettuce at times. Bed 2 is my root bed. I have sown carrots, swedes, leaks and some garlic bulbs and they have already sprouted. I'll also plant Onions in there in winter. When the current Bed2 is harvested the peas and beans will move in and so the cycle goes.
I'll probably invest in an extra bed at some point but walk before run I say....
Bed 1 is looking pretty good. Planted and sown late Jan I already have beans!
Bed 2 Was sown about 2 weeks ago and the root veges have sprouted already:
Bed 3 - well maybe another time :P
