Ok i have a small patch of land and a tiny patch of land.

I dug over the small patch some 4 months ago and proceded to grow 2 rows of pototoes, 2 rows of beetroot, 1 row of shallots, 1 row of spring onions, 1 row spring cabbage, 1 row savoy cabbage, 1 row carrots and one row cauliflower.  I have also potted 1 tomato plant (2 yellow flowers have appeared), 1 pot of mint, 1 pot with both thyme and parsley, 1 pot of rhubbarb, 3 pots of runner beans, 1 pot of red onions and 1 pot of garden peas (loads of white flowers have appeared).

The tiny patch at the moment is still covered in weeds and unwanted folliage.  Im now struggling with what to grow on a tiny patch at this time of year.  I have very little knowledge about vegetable growing but I have an abundance of enthusiasm and willing to learn. Even though everything I have grown so far is thriving and growing at an alarming rate (all organic, no chemicals or pesticides used).  I am still unsure about what else i can grow.

My son and i await any help you may be prepared to give. 

Thanks

[kermy79]

Thanks for the suggestion.  Only two problems, 1 im in wales and apparently pumpkins dont do well, 2 my son and i dont eat pumpkins (we tried it one and didnt like it much).

Thanks anyway.

How about planting bulbs once it's cleared and selling the flowers next year? Daffs for St David's day?

a wee strawberry patch is always good - or for even less work, some rhubarb.

you could probably buy some established strawbs now, so you could get some fruit this year, but otherwise it would be next summer - probably same for the rhubarb

jaresum artichokes , is another possibility, or butternut squashes (if you like them) or some winter cabbage, or even some ,lettuce until the weather get bad

still time for climbing beans, just dig up 4 small  holes, half the size of a football. Put 4 bamboo or willow branches in (one in each hole), cover with old manure or good compost, stick 2 - 4 seeds in each hole, cover with compost, water and tie the sticks together to shape a tipi. Beans come up really quickly at this time of the year and you'll still get a good harvest.

Leeks and broccoli are good 'over winters'

I agree with Linz re leeks but also what about sprouts for Christmas (winter)? I would also consider a permanent place in the ground for rhubarb, raspberries and strawberries.
