  • Ideas wanted for succession planting in "strips"



    I have a pile of these "insert strips" and the trays that they fit into - 6 per tray.

    Can you suggest 6 different veggies that could be sown in them, and resown every 3/4 weeks for successional cropping.
    I'd pot them on when large enough and plant out later so I just need suggestions for suitable seeds.

    Just a little mental test for you - I'm not going to ask you to join in..................unless you want to, of course

            OK how about cutting the ends off 2 of them, sticky taping them together and putiing them over your Q's to make sure they are nice and 'shop quality' straight........................

            or

            Sterilize, pour melted chocolate in them, drain most of it out, stuff with mini rolls, put the 2 bits together, put in fridge to cool, take moulds off and enjoy supa doopa mini rolls with coffee?

            or

            ice cube trays to help with watering in the summer for pots?

            or

            put one on the end of your nose and pretend your a helicopter when you are stressed.

              Now that I have had my anti daft tablet how about cutting the ends off and taping 2 bits together, stuffing with MPC and using them as root trainers.

                  Carrots, radish, lettuce, spring onions, leeks, and one of the brassicas (not spinach or kale as you can just keep harvesting your original plants instead of needing to sow new ones every month).

                      Thanks for all your ideas
                      I don't want to grow roots like carrots and radish in these trays because I'd have to replant them quickly before they starting forming roots...............just to narrow it down a bit for your ideas.

                        If you want to do successional sowing I can only think of all the salad family, as in lettuce, red, green, etc.
                        Spring onions.
                        Having said that, you would be eating salads throughout the summer. ☺
                        Cant thinkmof snything else.
                        OR, is this a trick question?

                        And when your back stops aching,
                        And your hands begin to harden.
                        You will find yourself a partner,
                        In the glory of the garden.

                          No tricks, bramble
                          These are the strips that they sell young veggies in, so I thought I could grow them myself. Sow thinly and repeat every few weeks.
                          I've seen them for sale with brassicas, leeks, lettuce, parsley and rhubarb, toms, cues and squashes, peas and beans. Have seen carrots in them too but they looked awful.
                          Its just a thought at the moment
