Allotments 4 All

Hello to everyone,
My first time on this site so I just thought I would say hello.
Fairly new to the allotment game as Ive only had one since August.
I am in the process of digging over my plot which is a sea of bindweed !
I have got about a third of the way down so far and tiering the beds as I go.
Have planted a few things like onions which are doing ok.
Any ideas as to what else I can plant would be welcome.
Anyway just thought I would introduce myself and hope to be speaking to you soon.
Dave

hello dave, welcome to A4a

well done digging :P and getting hunions off to a start!
still time to sow Texsel greens, lettuce (winter), radish, winter spinach and Garlic. Overwintering broadies and spinach in October, transplant rubub and plant garlic in November. I hates to see idle ground I do ;)

Happy plotting, look forward to your pics and posts - tiered beds! :o :)

Dave. Welcome to the A4A  site. Lots of advice given on here by members who are so knowledgeable.. Have fun and as SS said look forward to pics.

Welcome from me too, it sounds like you have got your plot at about the right time, as you can get a few overwintering crops in (onions, garlic, broad beans, overwintering spinach), and you will have plenty of time to prepare for the spring busy-busy time  :)

Hello Wavy, welcome

A big WELOME from me Dave.  I do not have an allotment, (more of a gardengirl myself ;)) but always like reading about other A4A successes.  Look forward to hearing all your news :)

Hi Dave,
You will like this site, Everyone is so helpful. I planted garlic this morning. I had to wait for  a bit of spare ground as I only have half a plot at the moment. My advice is to plant as you dig cos then you get some encouragement when you see things growing.
