Allotments 4 All

We planted Chrysanthemums on the plot this year and have had great success with them even though they have been badly neglected! Now that we are heading towards winter I need some advice on what to do with them, should we lift them? or can the stay in the ground? If they are lifted then how do we do that, how should they be stored?

Have a look in here and see how I do my sprays;

I always refer to your site Tee Gee regarding my chrysanths. Just wish you would put the months instead of the weeks. (getting old I suppose)

QuoteJust wish you would put the months instead of the weeks.

I think you know why I use week numbers rather than dates and that is;

it makes my data more versatile to users from Lands End to John O'Groats all of whom because of local weather conditions might do things at different times.

e.g. Lift stools - Weeks 42-46 where 42 might suit people in the north whereas the plants of people in the south might still be in flower at this time and they don't want to lift just yet..

If you want a quick conversion look at my 'Index' (Home) page it gives week numbers and months.
