Help! I'm going round in circles and can't decide!
This is my second summer in this garden and although a nice big chunk is currently set aside for vegetable patches, at the moment those spots are waiting to be terraced into slightly raised beds. So they'll be ready at some point later in the summer... but not yet.
I had planned my seed growing based on how much space I will eventually have and I didn't take into account the fact the plots won't be ready. So I now have too much veg and not enough space!
The previous owners had an old, broken greenhouse which we took down last autumn. I'm thinking I can use this base to plant some of the things we don't yet have space for, but I have no idea what it has had growing in it.
Sorry this is a lot of words for a simple question! But here it is:
What is safest to plant out there? I have leeks and purple sprouting broccoli that are ready to be planted out- which of these do you think would be safest? I don't want to plant them out then find I get horrible diseases on them or they are stunted from lack of nutrition. I can't really afford much compost/fertiliser as all my money is going on the soil in the new beds.
Or I can keep the leeks/broccoli pootling along in pots/bits of plot until the other beds are ready in a few months time and plant salads and instead plant my courgettes/squashes in the old greenhouse base?
