Oh dear. Oh well, I only spent £5.89 so that's the most I can lose. I'll see what happens. 

Not a fortune to loose if it dose go belly up

I have just planted spring cabbage, onions and kohl rabi

I never expected to see this on the home page for the forums.  

My late planted mizuna that was thoroughly wrecked by badgers is recovering a bit. Some of the seedlings I replanted are continuing to grow.

Badgers aren't the most useful of critters with whom to share an allotment.

I've grown lamb's lettuce, mizuna, Giant Red Wave Mustard and Swiss chard, all of which survived minus 19. Also, other mustards like the frills, endives, mangetout peas, winter radish, parsley under cover, winter lettuce, and broad beans. Plant Valenciana very late and hope it keeps to 15cm and it'll flower in February.  Very Hardy as long as the growth isn't pushed.

Jo Maiden used to grow peas in a hanging basket for a winter treat. I found mangetout were frost hardy but succumbed when storm battered.

oi ‘Emmings! Wotcher doin’ on this page; we’re s’posed ter be on the ‘ouse buying’ a renting’ forum?  An ‘ow did yer get promoted to the ‘ome page?  Anyway you gotta lottment! Lucky s0 an so. They’re rare as ‘ens teef dahn ‘ere in London? 

All I got is this tiny yard and a little planter so overcrowded full of tomatoes I’ll get reported to the NSPCToms. 

Good luck; I got 20kilos of tomaters last year but won’t get ‘alf that in 2024 as the wevver was bad in Spring and unlike you, I ain’t got a glasshouse. 

Let us know ‘ow you get on

The allotment thinking came out of the house buying thing. When looking at houses, I was thinking that if I get one with a good sized garden, then we'd grow things at home. But, if we got a house with a small garden then we'd have an allotment. However, the end result is that we got both. 

I'm hoping to have a grape vine along a fence. As I simply can't protect corn from badgers at the allotment, I hope to grow some corn at home, and I hope to have potato grow-bags for next year at home. I have a moderate sized area of decking.

Seeds Megastore has marked my order of seeds as shipped. I'll see what, if anything, arrives in the post. 

Good to hear about your tomato harvest. In theory I have a lot of tomatoes at my allotment, but they seem to be resolutely staying green. So far, no badger damage and no disease that I recognise. I've got several different types of tomato too. Some beefsteak (but still medium small), some cherry, and some sort of plum tomato.

My subscription box of seeds this month is peas, broad beans and red spring onions. 

I'm not sure if it's me or my source of seeds, but my radishes, chantenay carrots and lettuce are dire and just roots under the soil. 
My pak choi and Japanese rocket on the other hand are seemingly okay

My radishes, of two types, did very well. I had some good lettuce, but it's gone to seed now. All carrots were badgered. I'd like to grow pak choi and rocket in future years.

The radishes have done nothing this year ,sprouted no problem but have stood still since ,moved them ( they are in a planter ) into the greenhouse in the hope they decide to grow

Both my radishes that I planted indoors and then transplanted outdoors, and the radishes that I sowed directly into ground outdoors have done very well. I've just made a whole batch of vegetable curry, and it includes quite a percentage of radish.
