Oh Yes!
Rows of spuds along the outside, cucumbers climbing up the frame, tomatoes down the centre and a rotation of lettuce, basil along the edges.
Then courgettes, peppers, chillis along the other side and a bed for starting the outdoors stuff.
Now, I just have to get the seed and get started.

Still picking chard , perpetual spinach and pak choi from last year's planting . Really good things because they are all hardy and cut & come again .
Garlic now showing thru as are peas and more pak choi planted in the dead of winter .
Good luck

To add to the list .... plant carrots late Sept and just leave them there . They will be very slow to grow but no matter if you aren’t using the ground for anything else . Harvested some the other day – small ( about finger size ) but lovely firm texture and beautiful flavour . A real treat at this time of year .
I suspect that they would bolt rather than get bigger as soon as they weather warms up but I have no experience . Any thoughts ?
