It is so wet and miserable out there, I have been doing some planning. I guess that is the enduring appeal of growing - there is always next year
Anyway, I have restocked my seed box and most of it has been during the seed sales the online retailers have been doing, so has not cost me much at all.
This year I made a concerted effort to use up old or opened seed packets and sowed a lot direct on the plot whenever space appeared. Some failed but some did really well and gave a lot of bonus crops, so while the cheap seeds were around, I also bought some specifically for gap filling and intend to have these on hand in a zip lock bag to grab when I head to the plot. They were cheap, have loads of seeds in the pack and it won’t be a disaster if a few fail.
I have not got as far as a drawn out plan, but by rotating spuds, brassicas, beans and the rest, it sort of designs itself.
Now I am itching to get going, but will restrain myself. The usual treat of sowing some onions at the end of year is not too far off and I have shallots, broad beans and a few other bits to do Jan/Feb. In my head it will all be wonderful, but then it always is at the planning stage
