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.

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

if you put Broad Beans in over winter they wont get the black fly as much.
There is a section on what to do in the vegetable garden now, so that may help you too 🙂
In the meantime you may also get some answers from some fellow green-fingered Silversurfers here too 🙂
