We shall shortly have a few tubs free and would be grateful for some advice.

We live high up and winter here can start in October so we have about ten weeks where we can say the weather will be OK.  It could be longer than that but that would be a bonus for us. 

Given the above can anyone suggest a suitable vegetable.  Not potatoes please.  These have been in since early April and just won’t stop growing:

    Thanks for the excellent suggestions.

    We've already ordered some Pak choi and will be getting some Cavolo nero this weekend.
