I put it in the spot some of my potatoes were this year. Once I've removed a couple of squash plants I'll sow autumn broad beans there. One out one in!Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-51185624470624495832015-10-12T10:43:54.850-07:002015-10-12T10:43:54.850-07:00Thanks, yes the peppers are good - well, except th...Thanks, yes the peppers are good - well, except the teeny King of the North which was obviously immature and so a bit bitter.

I actually hope we get a frost soon - I'm fairly certain the chard would sail through that, but the aphids would be history.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-28151710797883263422015-10-12T07:28:03.545-07:002015-10-12T07:28:03.545-07:00I've planted as early as end of Sept but also ...I've planted as early as end of Sept but also later in October.
