recommended me some shop bought plants

Hi

I've built a small planter and filled it, planter size 1.2m by 45cm by 30cm (length, width, height respectively).

With all my successful seedlings I've only been able to fill 1.5 planters, half of it is still full.

As it's too late to plant seeds now to get a good harvest, I want to buy some from b&q. What's a good crop to grow on a planter this size. (remaining space left is 60 x 45 x 30).

I already have
- cherry tomatos
- chillis
-brocolli, cabbage, brussel sprouts,
-beans
-parsinps
-carrots
-spinach

would cauliflower work?

Ideally I want something fast growing. Brussell sprouts are really soaring and growing faster than the squash!

Why don't you check out square foot gardening as you don't actually have that much space. I would say cauli wouldn't work as they need more space and sounds like you've already got a lot in it.

sfq returns many search results. can you point me to a specific resource?

"Cut & come again" lettuce

A supermarket "basil in a pot" will do well planted out, after its stint on your windowsill.

Just from a quick google search this one popped out as it shows what you could grow in each square foot. For raised beds it gives you a lot more crop for your space.
