Allotments 4 All

http://www.organicplants.co.uk/Downloads/Documents/Cropping-Plan-2006.pdf

Will be a while yet til we get the plot clear enough for that plan. :(

However if this weather holds out over the weekend may actually get some more done. :)

Hello Tim

How many people is that plan suppose to feed ?  I only have 5 rods and 3 adults to feed.

No idea - a family of 4?

Ask them - Jill. She's V helpful.

Whos plan is this?

How big is the plot?

Im a new starter, this actually gives me some good ideas - probably not going to be on this scale though.

I like the planting schdule

Just a technicoloured version of my plan Tim!!  ;D ;)

It says for a plot of 10 rods but does not mention how many people to feed alto the numbers of each plant seem reasonable for a family of 4 - 5 adults.  But to grow 5 Cardoons?  a bit of a space waster it you ask me unless you absolutely love the stuff!!  Also if you grow the squash/pumpkin with the corn and beans (three sisters) you could save a bit of space.  You could also grow them and courgettes on your compost heaps to save space!

Jill says 4-6 people - but one would probably need to supplement with potatoes & onions from elsewhere. Not entirely scientific, but a nice contribution?

Cardoons - of course - because they sell them!! Substitutions are allowed. Equally, you could say that 9 Asparagus was a bit thin?

TG - of course!!

Well I have printed it out - gives one a good idea.  Wish my plans were so well organised....I tend to me a lot more haphazard!  ;D

Wow is all i can say  :o  If only i were that organised, my seeds still aren't in planting order..... ::)  ;)  I'm assuming the tomatoes are in the greenhouse?  ;D
