After lifting out the Leeks that were in my raised bed a couple of days ago I am now left with some space to fill. You can see there's a few straggly Spring Onions left lol
Stupidly I haven't sown anything to fill it, and I know I've left it a bit late lol

Has anyone any ideas what they would plant in this space to fill it for the next few months? As you can see by the Chrysanthemums I am not averse to planting Flowers in the bed image

    I had been growing some Lettuce the past few months but in all honestly I never eat as much of it as I should lol

    I do the same! Best intentions and all that! image



    You might get a crop of spring onions before the cold sets in image



    I tend to use empty veg beds for nursery beds for the things im moving round in the autumn/winter.



    Its also a good time to sow brassicas for next year, they can be over wintered in your beds image

    Thanks for the ideas and I'd never thought of using it as a nursery bed image
