Hi Geoff,
I think this a case of 'same meat different gravy.' Wallis's are a large agricultural merchants in Chemsford and Wallis Seeds is an offshoot company.
These are the Tuckers of Essex type of company!

Hi Alia,

I have been planning mine all year really. Deciding what to grow again next year, and what not to bother with. Something new, or something that I never got around to this year. There's always planning to do and seed catalogues to study. Next year is always going to be better than the one before :wink:
Cheers PJ.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long...........

I keep a gardening log and have a page set aside each year for gardening notes. What has done well, something new with a really good flavour, which part of the garden is best for warmth, what to move to another place and anything I won't grow again. I find if I write it down when I think about it it is more likely to get done.

I usually have a plan for changing bits of the garden too. It certainly isn't too early for making plans.

The rotations follow a pattern but I love looking at new things to grow. Also I think about which veg we make best use of and any that get wasted or I've grown too many of so I can adjust it next year.
