Hi All, hope your well? I just have a general question regarding Crop rotation, What can I plant in a raised bed after Greyhound Cabbages?
Any advice would be useful
What to Plant after Cabbages?

Presumably, you mean NOW, Connie? There is still time to squeeze in a crop of dwarf beans or florence fennel or lettuce or other salad crops, their success depending on where you live and how the weather shapes up for the rest of the summer!

I've got club root as well Connie. The resistant seed varieties available are actually very good both in flavour & vigour & the range is expanding quite rapidly! You don't get many seeds in the pack & a bit more expensive but worth it for huge heads & I find that they are cross seasonal as before the Savoy variety they were all I could sow or plant.

If you can source some plants I would add leeks, chard, beetroot. Watch out for brassicas if you opt for salad; stick with lettuce, endive, chicory, raddichio definitely not rocket, radish or most of the Asian greens.
When we had an allotment with clubroot (about 40 years ago and no resistant strains available then!), I used to grow the brassicas in individual pots to as large a size I as dared and only then planted them into the ground with a copious application of lime. That way most of the plants did survive and grow but it was a fuff doing it!

Hi Connie,
I think I'm too late
But anyway wanted to share my experience. This year I decided to plant onions and tomatoes after cabbage. And I had a little bit a hard time with tomatoes but onions turned out nice and large! I think for the next year I will try to grow some garlic or carrot.
