| In the past few days we lifted onions because we notice one had some rot on the base. I think now it was a false alarm but it will leave the bed open now for new planting. Any suggestions on what can be planted after onions at this time of year? |

| You could sow carrots, chard, kohl-rabi or late peas (choose a dwarf first early variety like Kelvedon Wonder), or you could plant winter cabbages (like January King) or Kale.... the choice is yours. |

Yes, I was reading the other day that a quick rule of thumb is to go with the root veg - I didn't realise cabbage was also a possibility - are other brassicas too?

I'm digging up some early spuds soon and putting in the leeks. Maybe if you have some to thin out, you could put a row in....
