Making the most of space

This 8 x 4 raised bed has swede and lettuce growing in it. The middle portion was occupied with beetroot until today when the last ones were lifted to be pickled as baby roots.

The space freed up will be filled with "radar" autumn planting onion sets in the next few weeks. I always try to keep as much ground occupied with crops all year round as I can do. Empty beds seem such a waste.
