What's Happenin'?
Well, the days are getting shorter and the clocks go back this weekend!
But I'm sure there's plenty happening.
What are you planning for the following months outside and in?
My broad bean plants are just emerging now in cell trays and will be planted in the polytunnel soon...

January Jobs?
So, its January. What have you all been up to?
What have you been sowing?
What have you been doing in your greenhouse, polytunnel or on your patch?
What's on your list of things to do before February?
Or are you just hunkering down, keeping warm and drooling over seed catalogues!

Well, in a moment of chocolate desperation the other night (no chocolate to be found anywhere in the house) we stumbled on an advent calendar someone had bought us (or so we assumed)...except the sweets that came out of the first window didn't look like chocolate but there were sweets, or even 'trea...

Top three veg?
OK, for dodgy doings on the allotment you've been banished (for life!) to an hitherto undiscovered, uninhabited island...not far from the Isle of Man. (Yes, far-fetched, I know!). However, so you won't starve, you're allowed to chose three veg seeds (including seed potatoes, onion/garlic sets etc) t...

Soil Testing
Just curious to know if any forum members regularly test their soil before planting - ie the pH level - or do you just chance it?
