Hello there
I am a newbie to the allotment site, and I have been trying to find a decent planting calender everywhere. I have a rough idea on what times of year I need to plant certain things, but was wondering if anyone had a calender version that I can print and keep in my file.
Thank you
Linda
hiya, linda..welcome to the site, I think if you put it in the search at the top of the page, there was a thread earlier on this, happy growing ;D
I found this really helpful.

This is less graphic but has some more uncommon varieties such a Pak Choi

I also find this site quite helpful but be careful, the front page section 'What needs sowing' doesn't distinguish between indoor and outdoor - you need to click on the veg concerned to check.

These calanders are really helpful. As a novice still trying to get their plot free of weeds and litter Ive been totally confused when I start sowing and how many months I have to do so... Some of the books have diary type calenders in i.e. January start doing this and that.... But I dont find these helpful as Im halfway through Feb! Anyway, the calanders mentioned in this thread are perfect.
Does anyone know of any calenders that include veg (incl potatoes) and fruit, and that differentiate between in doors and out doors? I think the best type would be a calender that covers fruit and veg, and states basic instructions e.g. greenhouse, outside, indoors,
Welcome Linda,
Thanks for the *Bump*. I was going to post asking Tee Gee for his web site heading so I could access all his wonderful information from my bookmarks.
If you would be so kind Tee Gee.....I know you have put it up before, but I have had hours of no luck trying to find it........................Fankoo :-*
