Low maintenance vegetables?

More space the allotment

Something extraordinary happened today: My allotment got 30% bigger.

Seriously: I acquired another 60 sq m. Or rather, I claimed them; my neighbour has recently consulted with our site landlord, and apparently I’ve had the land all along. I just haven’t been using my full allotment entitlement.

These are both excellent and troubling tidings. On the one hand, I’m gagging for more room. On the other, I worry whether I’ll have time to cultivate the extra land.

I thought I’d bung in another asparagus bed and some artichokes. And perhaps some more flowers – they all provide results without too much work. Anyone got any other ideas for low maintenance vegetables??
