    Evening all,

    I am wondering about sowing times. Does anyone have any general rules of thumb for sowing start times, sequencing (e.g. sow broad beans, when take first crop off, sow …..?? for succession etc)? 

    I am absolutely hopeless at this, so if you can give me any guidance / ideas I will be in your debt hugely!! 😊❤️

    I use gardenfocused website for dates, slightly adapted to what everyone else on allotment is doing. 
    It's good for the soul to walk with your soles on the soil.
