    I may have gotten a little carried away and bought 24 PSB plug plants while at a car boot, without planning or digging first. Oops. They are about 6" tall at the moment.

    I'm assuming some will have to be rehomed, which is fine, but generally speaking how much space do they need for say, 6 plants? I've got a big garden so I can dig out whatever is required for that or more, it's just to give me a rough idea so I can start marking out an area to de-turf and enrich as all my veg will be growing where there is lawn currently.

    Thanks.

    Ideally a foot and a half between the plants :spinning: You'll need to net them against butterflies [​IMG]

      Consider them as purely ornamental :snork:

              Not Public Sector Borrowing (that's far much easier to grow), Purple Sprouting Broccoli.

                Sorry, I'd been looking over some old threads and just absorbed the acronym :snork:

                Thanks. I will get out with the string tomorrow and start marking up :)
