As completely over-enthusiastic beginners, we spent much of our winter devouring seed catalogues and ended up buying and being given enough seed for several allotment plots. I don’t just mean in quantity, I also mean in variety. However, this has the possible advantage that rather than being flooded by huge gluts of one kind of vegetable, or failed harvests of a large area of the plot, we will have a variety of crops at any given time.
The other advantage is that we were able to make many, many lists and plans. One of these lists is here. As the year progresses, I’ll tag all the different crops, so a click on the name takes you to all blogposts that mention it.
Here it goes:
