What veg plants should I get for October?
Watch this postI have a small strip for veg. Just cleared out all the finished tomato and runner bean plants, so now want to buy new plants to refill. Quick growing would be good as I have no patience. The plot is roughly 8' x 3'. Thank you.

if you put Broad Beans in over winter they wont get the black fly as much.
Consider growing them in pots or tubs. In this way you don't have as many weeds or insects to worry about.
some areas also have community garden projects ? you might find one they can be quite helpfull
we have one locally 2hrs twice a week , they give what they grow away usually to the helpers and they do have a free tea break its the size off 6 allotments and based on a councill allotment site .

There is a section on what to do in the vegetable garden now, so that may help you too 🙂
