Addendum, 171108. I went and bought some red beans at the supermarket in Cyprus. Well when I bought some two years ago I received very few and when they grew I wasn't able to save seed for the next year. Now with 320 seeds, let's see if I plant them 9 inches apart, they'll take up 48ft by 4ft, that's huge, I'll just try one 12ft bed. 

We've decided not to grow sweet corn and I don't want to grow Peppers, for the same reason too much effort, too much land for insufficient return. Got to try to simplify what we're doing. We're going tp try Amaranth and Quinoa.

Broad beans and over-wintering Onions are in, we've started on next year.

A Summary for 2008 Superb, wonderful, Excellent - a cornucopia of the best England has to offer: Beans, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Beetroot, Courgettes, Squashes,Broad Beans, Leeks, Lettuce, Onions, Garlic, Swede, Cucumbers. Passable, though the brassicas have provided a slow but continuous alternative to our main crops: Brassicas, Peas, Peppers, Sweet Corn. Bye the bye the Anna Swartz squashes are superb to taste.
