New Allotment

[MaryN]

Well, good on you BM, get out there and flex those muscles digging the soil over. You are a bit late to plant stuff for winter, although you can sow broad bean seeds now and some pea varieties (under fleece if you have it). If you have the chance of a greenhouse there are varieties of lettuce you could try. Some folks have grown potatoes in pots to eat over Christmas.

You may well find that some garden centres have a few trays left of brassicas - that is, cabbage, sprouts etc. It's a bit late and harvest would be later than normal, but give it a go.

Best thing though is that you get to prep up the soil for next year's goodies - dig in loads of muck and keep the ground happy.
Good luck to you and happy gardening.
