What can I put in the pots to follow the peas using the same or improved compost?
I would like to put Dwarf French Beans or Carrots.

Hi MikA, Peas and beans are both legumes and attract similar pests, best to follow with carrots, and as they are slow getting going why not a quick crop of radish with the carrots as they start quite slowly.
Or if you want to avoid carrot fly some spring onions and carrots?

Thanks NB,
Just got the free radish seeds from KG so might do that.

I thought their free seeds were turnips, but perhaps I am thinking of last month or another mag ?

Hi MikA,
With certain varieties of Carrot you can sown up to and including the month of August. Sown now Autumn King 2 would give you fresh pulled Carrots for Christmas should you wish.
