Do I presume that I can plant successional sowings/planting into the same bed as the previous sowing?

I always thought you had to plant something different or maybe that only applies to spuds.Originally posted by HeyWayne View Postsigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Aye, but I'm talking at the same time so you elongate the period that the same plant is in the bed.Originally posted by Bigmallly View PostA simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

I do, but then again, I dont think it's proper sucessional
I fill the beds, they're like a jungle (you should see my kale + sprouts + broc heh) - once I've harvested something (in this case, turnips), I sow some more.. doing so really though, as a cat has managed to sneak under the nets some how and deposit a present in some unused soil. Looking forward to when I see it again
But, yeah, I kinda do.
I've been sowing peas pretty much every 2-3 weeks since my first batch - so I'm doing it long term.
Completely unrelated, and without trying to de-rail the thread the boss said she was ok with me buying one of those climbing frames - can they support adult weight? :PComment

I think (THINK) that it's only really a problem if they have suffered a disease or pest that will remain in the soil like blight, scab, eelworm etc.
Otherwise you can plant in the same place, but with an increased risk, plus some of the nutrients will be missing from the soil as the previous crop will have used them, but these can be replaced of course.Current Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:

No worries about de-railing - I'm sure I've done that a plenty in my time here, much to others' annoyance.Originally posted by chrismarks View Post
Depends on the adult - I for example weigh 105kg, so no - officially. However, I have sat on the swing, and I have climbed the ladder and swung on the rope.
I'm sure it says up to 14 years old, or 50kg on the label.

Depends on what you mean, I've been sucessionally sowing peas for a couple of months now but all the plants are still in the ground, as with turnips, beetroot etc. It's unlikely I will plant any more of those items in the same bed as it'll take a while to clear them. However, new lettuce modules get shoved back where I've just pulled one as they're only short term.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I'm pretty careless, I generally try, when I pick one type of veg, to put something else down - but I don't worry too much about it. In particular, as long as no probs or ailments have shown up, I think it's OK to do successional sowing through one season.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

... thinking about it - it'd be really hard to practice proper rotation if you were to sow sucessionally (sp?) and rotate each row in a bed or so?
50Kg? Hmm no idea how heavy I am.. 11stone I think? ~70kg. Yeah, it'll do :P ccccool!!Comment
