Hi,

Having just lifted my first ever potatoes (only just got into this
gardening lark), I find myself with a nice bare patch of ground that the
missus is complaining about.> The question is, is there anything
I can plant in that space for either lifting autumn or spring? I've
heard it's the last chance to plant runner beans, or possibly peas. Any
ideas?

Worth looking for purple sprouting broccoli plants. Will stand through the
winter and give spears next March.
