Hi everyone,I'm new to this site and it is my first year on my allotment just wondered if anybody has got any tips on when i can start planting things i have dug over all my plots. But I'm a little unsure of when things need to be planted out and can any seeds be planted straight out into the ground yet ? :-\
Is there anybody that could give me some advise please
Hi nat, we are fairly new too - I would have a look at TeeGee's website its like the bible in our house ;D http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk/Indexes/index.htm.
We have just planted some shallots, garlic but are holding off on some sowing for a couple of more weeks. Buy some potatoes and chit them at home. I am sure there will be some more experienced posters adding some helpful pointers soon.... watch this space ;)
Thanks just had a look on that link it's really helpful :)
Hi nat, and welcome to A4a. I'd second the advice to look at TeeGee's site, although timings also depend whereabouts you are- if you're in the sunny south you may be able to sow sooner.
Also try searching the site under the particular crops you want to grow- or ask about individual plants- I find specific questions get more answers because people don't always have time to write longer answers!
hi there welcome to the site.
i have only had my allotment for 6 weeks but this site is gr8.
i love Tee Gee's website, is so easy to understand. also the WIKI at the top of the page has some really good info.
:D
Hiya, nat, welcome to a4a ;D
