Plug the Gaps Collection

This is just the thing for filling in any spaces that appear in your veg patch in July, whether it’s from harvested crops or slug-munched plants! You can happily pop any of these plants in between other rows, in borders or even in pots. Each plant only needs a 10-20cm area of space to thrive and will grow quite quickly at this time of year so you’ll be able to harvest in no time at all.

Use the leaves as cut and come again by cutting off the outer leaves for baby leaf salads right through the summer months, tuck beetroots, carrots and leeks wherever you have a little space, pop marigolds in amongst tomatoes to help deter aphids (they’re edible too) and grow peas (varieties may differ) up any free vertical space that you can find.
