Try successionsal sowing again of corn, courgettes and beans. Reduce the number of toms in each gh border to 5 rather than 6. Devote one border of gh to cucumbers (maybe). Find room to grow all the favourite toms whilst still experimenting with some new ones. Concentrate on trombas and give up on winter squash they never thrive. There will be more as the season approaches.
1. Did get some penstemons planted.
2. Successional sowing wasn't that successful. Second sowing of peas were a waste of space, I think it was too hot. Sweetcorn later sowings just catches up with each other. I ran out of room for second planting of beans & courgettes.
3. Did reduce toms to 5 per border, worked well. Didn't devote one whole border to cucs. Nobody needs that many cucumbers.
4. Did grow some new and old favourite toms, this is continuing into next year and thereafter I expect. Found a few new ones that will become favourites.
5. Grew 3 trombas and will grow even more next year, they're so versatile.
