    I have dug up all my spuds and now have a hole. What can I plant in the space without mucking up the crop rotation?
    Many Thanks

    I`d be inclined to sow a batch of Early Onward peas, and maybe some lettuce.

    Interested to hear that you can still get a crop of peas this year - I might risk it. At the risk of sounding dim, why do you recommend Early Onward? Logic would suggest that an "early" tag would be for March/April sowing? I'm not having a pop, just a bit confused!

    Hi Prastio. The reason that you would sow 'early onward' is that they mature that bit quicker. Cheers...freddy.
