Our novice allotmenting yield is starting to look a little more interesting than herb clippings, including today's historic digging up of our first potatoes. Yay! (King Edward, and Arran Pilot, most of which is hiding under the purple kale.) The spare soil the potatoes have freed up looks lush, and we'll have quite a lot of it once all the spuds are up, not to mention a few carrots. Any advice on good things to be planting in its place at this time of year? Open to ideas on whether it's possible to grow more stuff for this year or getting things in the ground for next.
Nice harvest. Leeks are a good shout, I'd add Radishes to andyp's suggestions of quick crops too. I got this beauty (amongst many slightly lesser quality others) after just 3-4 weeks, am on my 4th planting of radish seeds this summer now. Good for kimchi.
