Planning the new season

Hi guys
I've already got the plans done for my garden next year but need a bit of help you see i've been given couple of pieces of ground ones going to be approx 3ft square and the other is going to be 6 x 4 i plan to plant mixed leaves in the smaller plot and go for spuds in the other. Right heres the big question wot sort of mixed salad should i go for and wot spuds go best in the gound was thinking of having 2 varieties any ideas.

Also i'm trying to decide on a veg to plant in front of my runners i had broads there this year but didn't get a massive yeild plus i found they didn't taste any different from the frozen ones. The space will be about 12 x 2.5 ft. Also any ideas of wot grows well in the shade would be greatly received

Hi Terry,

John beat me with the pink fir apples, very tasty.

I grow lollo rosso letuce as the slugs leave it alone, grew a mixed salad from the bbc dig free seeds this year & there was a spikey salad leaf that was very tasty. think its called something like mizuma.

French beans are always a good thing to lob in, prolific & tasty, broad beans are just for cattle.... (Runs away to get flak jacket)
