Thanks for answers - I currently have started some late runner beans and perpetual spinach so will pop it them in when ready.

Yes it was heartbreaking having to grub up all those bushy plants, which I had grown from seed. Tumbling toms, beef steak, plum toms, and even the 'virus resistant' varieties. Onwards and upwards as they say!

Try runner beans or some of the brassica family. Spinach beet will rapidly give a good crop.
