Thank you SO much. I've just got our garden cleared and although most of it is currently paved I've got a good sized bed to figure out what to grow. Your plans will help me out no end with figuring out what I can plant and when!

What a great weekend. Managed to get down to the allotment for 8.30am on both Saturday and Sunday for a total of 5 hours and that was with the children. Let the Chickens out whilst we were in the garden, cleaned the coup out and later baked some cakes. Isn't it great when you feel like you've got loads done.

Well sown at the weekend were (the numbers inside the brackets are the amount of root trainer cells used)

French bush beans (32), brussel sprouts (28),another row of beetroot,quick heading calabrese (28),more spring onions, chilli's (20). Marigolds(60), sweetpeas (30) sunflowers (80) the tomato's and sweet peppers have all germinated so that's a relief.

I managed to do a bit of digging but the ground is still really wet and with the wet and cold weather approaching unlikely I'll be doing much planting outside for a while.

Really frustrated not being able to do much outside. Haven't been able to get the outside peas sown yet. Going to start them off inside using the cut pop bottles and guttering.

I've been sent Ashworth Sweetcorn to try, grows to 4ft and is said to have two cobs with plants cropping over a longer period which helps avoid a glut. So I'm going to try growing an early crop in the tunnel and some later outside.

Hope everyone is getting on Ok

Received your plans today - awesome! Thank you so much for sharing them, they have given me inspiration - just when the digging and weeding were getting me down!

Thanks again,

Thanks again,

Actually that's what I feel like when I'm making up the plans. It's a good reminder what your doing all that hard work for.

I've decide to change my plans a little. The guy next to me (the other side of the path) is going to plant his beans onlong the side of the path and I'm going to plant mine the other side. Join our canes at the top. This will save some space.
