Things to Do
Well the last couple of months have seen a few of the many things happen that need to happen such as digging the new area, cutting back the edges, getting a shed up and getting a load of dung down.
But there are still a few things to sort before planting can commence. What about a wee list:
1. Relax
2. Finish the Phase 2 digging (the hard bit)
3. Fork over the phase 2 bit. (2 or 3 times)
4. Dig over phase 1 (the easy-ish bit)
5. Dig in the dung
6. Realign the planting beds
7. Order seeds
8. Finish the edges
Was thinking of putting in raised beds, but a fourm I was reading yesterday mentioned they were a major slug trap. So might not bother. Ah dear!
So there it is, a bit of motivation and order for the next wee while.

Hi Rob
Thanks for your words of encouragement on our blog. It sounds like you have made good progress in your time as an allotment tenant so far.
I have to admit there is far more to all this than meets the eye. I will never look at a potato again without wondering if it is a first early or main crop!
Would be interested to hear what seeds you have ordered? We have posted a link to our list on plot44 blog but as one of our entries says - I think we may gone a packet too far.

Well, just ordered my seeds today from suttons for handy-ness sake. Will post that up soon.
Will also put a few comments on things that worked well and things I wasn't big into last year. Such as perpetual spinach!
But your right about feeling a little overwhealmed when ordering up all thouse seeds.
Rob
