Hi,
This is my first year with an allotment and I am pretty much doing everything by the allotment book. However as we have had such a bad winter I have hung back with alot of planting as the old hands on the allotment site have told me to wait.
My question for now is .. am I on the right tract
I have tomato plants in the house growing quite well in peat pots. I plan to put them out end of May.
Corgettes are growing in peat pots - now have four leaves - when do I plant them out in the allotment?
Also have red cabbage now again have four leaves as do the cauliflowers - when do I plant them out?
Sweetcorns are growing in peat pots - all looking lovely - I have never grown them before and they are now about 4 inches high in the pots.
Peppers are looking fabulous in little tiny pots - again when do I move them on? Can I plant any of this outdoors under cloches or should they wait a while longer.
Cucumbers have four leaves and waiting with the rest!
I have leeks in little pots all looking spindly - can I just plant them out anytime now?
In my shed I have tiny brussel sprouts just germinated as well as french bean (just about to germinate), and cabbages again just germinated.
I also have loads of seeds - carrots (have planted some out already but nothing happening)
I have swede and turnip seeds waiting to be planted and thought I might do that tomorrow as I have a day off but not sure if its the right sort of time?
do you think I am heading in the right direction or do I hold back a bit yet?
Thanks in advance for any hints and tips
