I've just realised that I have space in the front of our house for a few more vegetables. It's nice and sunny for most of the day, and we're on the south coast, so it'll stay warm until quite late in the year.
The trough is approximately 2ft tall, and probably about 2.5ft square. Could I get a late crop of potatoes from it? It's probably a few inches shorter than my potato bag. Or could it be better used for something else? A couple of cauliflowers?
The growbags are growbag sized. I have three squash plants that could go into them, but given that I already have three courgettes and two squashes out the back, I'm inclined not to bother (I am anticipating a squashy autumn). Could I plant a few pea/bean plants in there and train them up the fence behind? Or cucumbers? Kohlrabi? I don't even know what one is TBH.
Also, although our road is fairly quiet, we do get students up and down it, so I don't want to grow something expensive/that requires a lot of nursing, as it will be visible from the road and I don't want to be too heartbroken if it gets pinched by a drunken teenager.
I'm happy to either get seedlings from the farmers market (they seem to have every vegetable seedling under the sun) or order seeds...
