Thanks ,I do like a courgette but I`d have to be lucky to get them through the winter. Had some lovely cucumbers this year inside and out. Re Broad beans ,I must confess I don`t like them. Every year at peak I`m picking 100/150 runners a day and freezing them. I was thinking some variety of cabbage I could taker some winter leaves from and leave the rest to fully form. Stephen, Can I ask what variety of spinach you plant? I`m growing for Saag curry use mainly. Thanks for the replies folks.
I bought the spinach seed earlier in the year - it was what I could get hold of at the time - America - not a particular recommendation. Like others here I much prefer growing spinach beet/perpetual spinach/leaf beet (all the same just different names) - it doesn't bolt like spinach, survives through the winters and just keeps going (i had a couple of plants which went on producing for 2 years).
I have had spinach beet /perpetual self seed for three years it sprouts up all over,I even have it growing with my Turks turban winter squash,I am going to sow some seed from last years packet I bought.
Spinach beet sounds great and ideal for curries/saag/ dishes. Thanks everyone. PS I have some very curious tomatoes just turning red and I`ll post a pic tomorrow. Just wonder if anyone else has similar.
