Kitchen Garden Forum

Got the square ruled paper out - thinking of doing themed beds - chinese, med, true bit etc! Opened the proverbial can of worms! Did a good chinese bed 2011 & kept it going right up to chinese lettuce until about Dec - then it snowed, think I can do med bed through summer & winter with peppers etc in summer moving onto raddicho etc in winter - but Brit bed is the challenge - potatoes, onions, runners, cabbage, kale, swede, leeks, celariac, celery etc - will be 1/2 the plot at least with lots of bare patches on & off! (not to mention crop rotation).

Anyone got any suggestions - is it possible?

Dear Westi, i'm only a simple country boy, so only know howto grow basic veg in straight lines, so i can be of little help.

But i'm sure a more talented, up to date gardener will have some advice.

Have an American bed then you can grow almost everything in it!

I must read more food history and find out what we ate before 1492.

Dear All,
I see a collection of KG articles here. Vegetables through the ages and vegetables by country for starters with possibly the social and ecconomic history of vegetables as well.
Regards Sally Wright.
ps don't forget articles about fruit as well.
