Allotments 4 All

Wow Grawc, puts my file paper to shame. what are you going to do with the flax - is it just for flowers?

What do you mean diagram? I'd actually have to plan to have something like that?

Every year I intend to plan, but my veg garden ends up much more natural and, erm, evolves really. Ie - where have I got room to shove this in?! I do make sure I rotate alliums, potatoes and anything else prone to disease. Although my veg garden isn't very large, so I doubt that the pests and diseases will behave and stay put!

The grid looks very affective but a bit too clinical for me.  I nicked my daughters pencils when she was sleeping and drew mine.

We are much more laid back. We made some large labels and put them onto long sticks, These have been left in position so that we know what we can plant there the next time.
I'm not really that organised.

Hi Dandytown (not dandyman...). Have you grown Edame beans before (I see them in your plan). I would love to grow them - had no success with them this year though. Any tips?

Sorry to deviate from the post but in answer to your question Gwynleg:

I have not grown Edamame before and am aware they grow best in warmer climate.  However, The variety I am using is 'Envy' which I think is more suited to UK climate.  Will be buying the seed from moreveg.com at £1.25 for 40 seeds if I remember correctly.

Here is a good link that I fouind for growing Edamame
