Allotment information

Which products to grow (and when)

Tomatoes, Garlic, Chili….

Do you sow them indoors or outdoors ? March, April, May….

Or will they simply nor work ?

What’s your soil like – heavy, sandy, rocky, stony ? And how much water will you need ?

Even within a small area or town there will be ‘micro climates’ even allotments a few roads apart will have different growing cycles and crops that work.

Even on a relatively small allotment like ours there is a huge difference which site of the hill you are – where some crops will grow easier on plots one side.

However in ‘broad brushes’ you can identify some crops which will grow, and when you start.  For more details follow the links below :
