Hi,
All 2020 has been planning for 2021. Like you, took on new 3plot allotment on 1st April as want a go at a cutting patch. Plot was overgrown, had huge pile of wood on it, think large bonfire size and has marestail, bindweed, wind, buttercup and nettle problems. Spent the year clearing the current single plot working around crops and planting up strawberry runners, rasberries and moving blueberries and black currant bushes, pear and apple fans slabs and fruit cages to new plot. Bags and bags of weeds piled high until council tip opened, early morning bonfires to avoid complaints from the neighbours and three new forks before realising i need a spade! Seeds and plants put anywhere i had turned over but on plus side found there were paths laid around most of the plot, jerusalem and globe artichokes to tend, extremely overgrown but established asparagus beds and just harvesting figs from an established plant. Lots of weed killer used to try and get ahead, two beds trialled as no dig but despite careful digging, thick cardboard and compost still full of weeds and marestail but managed to get roots on the beetroot plants which is a first. Discovered the site of the newly moved shed has a stream running under it when heavy rain so now also have a moat so considering planting celeriac in that section. Aiming to grow smallish quantities of large variety of veg, getting my head around succession sowing and drying, pickling, freezing and different methods of storing with a plan to become virtually self sufficient. Sowing spreadsheet should be fun trying to buy none F1 varieties so I can save seeds, making a start with aqueligia and allium seeds. Starting to map out ready for crop rotation and will be making a list if seeds. Have been looking at kings seed so if anyone can make recommendations. Looking at trying to grow ground nuts and have a filibert in a container waiting for me to decide where to plant it.
So not sure if planning, could be asparations 👍😄
