Allotment

<< < (3/3)

Clive:
Exciting stuff Gill!  It may be late for the leeks but you will be able to get lots of other stuff in to break up the soil. 

GillE:
It's really much too late to plant anything, although if I can acquire some winter cabbage seedlings I might try those.  Once I've got the weeds sorted with a hoe, I might sow green manure to overwinter.  Apart from that, I think all I can do now is prepare for next season and try to accumulate as much horse manure as possible.

Clive:
I'm sure you've already seen this but there is a useful allotment planting/harvesting  chart at:  LINK.  I used to plant early potatoes under cloches in August and cover them with straw to protect them from frost.  If all goes well, you will harvest them over the Christmas period and amaze all your friends.  Birmingham may be somewhat colder than south Wales so you may not get away with it. 

sam:
that's a cool table.

GillE:
Great link, Clive - I've saved that page as a pdf so I can print it out later.

Many thanks :) .
