Allotments 4 All

Anyone know of a good site to download a usefull year-planner for the kitchen garden / allotment, dont just want dates but a nice format with space to write in as well as planting times and harvest times.

What a great tool that would be etc

I made one up in Excel. So much easier and you can customise it for your own use.

I've got one for the kitchen garden and one for the flowers.

hortizontally across the top are the months of the year.

Vertically are the names of all the different plants I grow.

I then fill in what you need to do with that plant each month (with early, mid, late as necessary).

CAN I HAVE IT ??

didn't save it once I'd printed it out as I did it at work.

TUT TUT

think I have one somewhere on my pc downloaded from another gardening messageboard based on Hessayon (methinks) - will have a search for it...

No problem folks.....I did my own last night

BEAMING WITH PRIDE ;D ;D

Any chance of a copy

Erm....its an Excel file.
I dont think you can attach files to this can you.

Il happily e-mail it to people to play with etc..just leave your addy

GOOD STUFF ALAN    CHEERS

I will try to make year planner for Kitchen & Garden. when it is completed, i will definitely share with  everyone.

This one from Suttons looks handy http://suttons.hostserver1.co.uk/sut/growingguides/Suttons_Vegetable_Planner.pdf

Thank you, I havent done any proper planning yet, I just have a very rough idea of what I want for the garden.  ;D
I will have to start planning now ! ;D

I've done a little rough planning, but I keep it all in my head, and do things on a very ad hoc basis. Alliums are on one side of the plot one year, the other the next. The weediest bits are kept back for tender veg to give me a chance to get the weeds out. The rest just has to fit in.

If I am not mistaken you can save such files on google documents.  Then ask the person who needs it to sign up to google documents then you can give selected people permission to open it

Whilst most online planners are very helpful, they tend not to cover the varieties I have and most would leave ne to beleive there is nothing to sow under glass in January.

For xmas I received a seed storage box with handy little monthly dividers.  I have plenty of vegetable varieties sitting in my January section such as cauliflower (All year round), Leek (carentan), red cabbage and Kelsea onion. 

My planning will consist of my storage tin and my masterplan (see: http://myplot38.blogspot.com/)

Storage by month is a good idea, Dandytown - so easy to forget stuff, especially when it gets to the busy times.

I find pre-made guides to planting in books or on websites aren't always right, cos you need to make some allowances to things like where in the house the seed pots will go etc... and when you know your last frosts are. Or space out the timings, because you don't have time to do it all at once.

I have just emailed 2 documents to you.  Should be what you need,  just alter varieties to your own.
