Title: Planting calendar
Post by: sawfish on March 16, 2007, 23:26:33
What I'd like is a calendar that will give me the months and all the veg I should plant in those months, whether its in a greenhouse or not, instead of a complicated alphabetical veg list with planting times, that just gets confusing.

Can anyone send me a link to one?

Hope you dont mind...Just PMd you too KT - I agree with the pp who have said to start charging if it is this popular...someone I know through another forum ended up doing an e-book of her bedgeting & recipe ideas as so many people wanted copies & she is apparently getting it published in paper there was so much interest!

I've made up an A4 version of the planting calendar petercostello gave the link to if anyone wants it - handy for putting on the reverse of KT's planner as it has a few other veg not included there.  Send me your email addy if you want it.  Or if anyone can post a link to it on here, let me know.

My PC crashed and burned 2 weeks ago. I lost a load of my files. Last year I forwarded 3 allotment documents to budding allotmenteers.

Would anybody happen to still have a copy of the, allotment layout plan and veggies to plant? I now have a copy of the veg planner

If so could I be cheeky enough as to request a copy to my email address please. Don't really fancy doing all that research again.

cheers
