In the past couple of years I have also grown a later crop by sowing in July or August they crop right up till the first frosts. I love growing dwarf beans, they are so prolific and not much work.

When I planted my spuds in my plot last year this was made up of multipurpose compost and topsoil from my garden. My spuds grew brilliantly apart from the slug damage. I think as long as you have some nutrients from a compost based product or try adding some potato fertiliser to your soil, this will be fine. After you have harvested your spuds the remaining soil can be used as mulch on flower borders. Tracey Hi Peter,

Ref spuds in pots. I have planted spuds in huge 2ft wide pots and have used a mixture of shredded soil and compost. Your advice and books suggest that the planting medium for spuds in pots should be 100% compost-for most people that means store bought multi-purpose. Could you please advise on the growing medium for very large pots considering that in my area a large bag of excellent shredded soil is only £1.50. peter ta for the interesting website.

I love them but I seem fated to lose out. Either the seeds don't germinate, the plants sulk or they finish early. I've never had too many. Even so I can't resist trying again.

I was wondering who was searching for growing potatoes in pots but it is the time of year for that type of growing. The best of luck with your cucumbers, this year is my first time growing them and I have 13 small (marketmore). Radishes just seem to keep themselves to themselves, a bit of watering and they still seem to grow. Sometimes I even forget to pull them up as they are usually so quick to grow. Thanks again for your comments. Tracey Hi Rolf,
