Recently got allotment, strimmed it, now it's a huge empty plot of grass!
Last weekend, dug our first 6 x 8 foot plot and planted onions, garlic and shallots.
What else can we plant at this time of year, or should we just be preparing our plots ready for the spring?
Thanks.
you can get your fruit beds planted out now..strawberries, currants, berries and trees..good bargains in the bargains galore
winter onions
broad beans
sweet peas.
However, you do not gain a lot by doing so and it will mean that you will have to weed the patches sooner. The early planted areas can end up looking untidy when you put in your spring crops on freshly dug soil.
If you can suppress the urge, wait.
Overwintering lettuce such as Winter Density, White Lisbon winter hardy spring onions, Spring Cabbage plug plants.
chinese leaves, mouli radish but I'd give them a bit of protection :)
Thanks guys for these suggestions!
Mooli is one I hadn't thought of - but I love it, so great idea, thanks!
