Planting timetable
One step closer to getting a Spinneyhead allotment. I should hear back about a plot within a week. Judging by the state of the allotments Damian and I looked at today the first job will be cleaning out the weed and other sprawling plants (securing a shed is high on the to-do list as well). The plan is to clear a row a week and plant a crop or two in each one so that there'll be a rolling crop as stuff matures.
Pages like this one tell me I should be planting beetroot, swede, dwarf French and runner beans as well as potatoes. Further research should give me hints for plants to start on the windowsill for future transplanting.
I'm all excited, I want the adventure to begin.
