So many questions!

Firstly welcome to the forums. Have a look at this page on the site, it'll give you some idea of what you should be doing & when, but please don't be afraid to ask any specific questions.

I'll move this to "Grow You Own", where the topic is more suited, & maybe you could pop along to the "Welcome" forum & tell us a bit about yourself.

Hi there, welcome Newbie.  You've done the back breaking work.  I've just completed digging over a part of my plot.  We took it over just before Christmas, we actually swapped this plot from our other one.  The people who had this one had a small lawn, so I dug it up and I've just put on manure, bone meal and some compost.  This will be for my caulis, cabbage and sprouts.  Usually at this time of year, its when you need to clean and disinfect the greenhouse, do any non-garden jobs, ie are your paths in good order, fencing, etc.  Also, you need to look at your seeds and start them off, ie onions, leeks, parsnips, etc.  In a couple of months, you won't know where to turn, because you will be busy sowing your seeds, etc.  I've got a calendar on my computer, and basically what I've done is input all my seed dates, and put reminders on them so that they pop up for when they need to be planted.  Makes life easier.  Anyway, good luck on your lottie.

Thank you all for your advice.
