My Allotment plan for the year

 These are the plans for my allotment this year.  It is not quite to scale but gives an idea of what I am planning to do over the next few months.

Obviously things like Leeks etc will be planned in as well (normally where the early potato's are) but we will see...

This weekend I went seed buying and, on onions and seeds spent £24.  I am also going to keep a list of what I spend on the allotment and also what we get off it and therefore have saved.  Will set up a google docs spreadsheet and record it as I would love to see if we break even!  (I suspect that I spend more than I save and I will not be taking into account hours worked either!)

I have planted some onion sets today and also have started getting prepared for seed planting.  Will again post a list of what I have planted and when to check for timings etc.

A Spring Weekend

It was a lovely weekend here and (for at least some of the time) I spent it down at the plot with the family.  Still mainly digging the plot over, cleared another bed this weekend and made another slightly larger. 

This week I plan to start some of my seeds off.  Will blog about that later hopefully
