    Hello.
    I sowed fava beans in 30cm rows one seed every 10cm.
    Now, that is a lot of unused space till beans will fill it, so i’m thinking to plant some overwintered spinach and some new module raised one.
    We could harvest some spinach till it goes to flower.
    I wonder what are your thoughts on this idea?
    Radish is another quick one, anything else?

    Good idea Zuf, especially the radish which matures faster than spinach, and especially if you have module-raised radish to plant between. They work well four seeds per module.
    I find that overwintered spinach usually crops until the second half of May, depending on variety, mine is Medania. I would pull it out before then as it will be competing with the beans after April.
