Are we seriously that reliant on mobile phones, computers etc. that we cannot plan when to sow seeds, when it's written on the back of the packet?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I understand there is also a book about that explains month by month what should be done in terms of planting and harvesting etc. Will try and remember the name and author. Maybe someone will help :wink:

I use a tin thas sectioned monthly and the seeds go in the month order,so I know at a glance when to plant em. The date/month they are due to be harvested is written on the label when I plant em

Easy (and lazy too!)

I did buy a book about it, but someone had ruined it by writing in the front..... :wink:

I also use a wall chart I bought from the  Centre for Alternative Technology.
For forgetfull people like me, it's just the job, and all the works been done for you. :D

The books quite handy as well, that table in the hall is almost steady now I've put the book under one of the dodgy legs.

I wish the bloke would hurry up and write another book to even up the other dodgy leg..... :roll:

You'll have to tell him how many pages you need it to be.  :shock:

If he includes a section on weeds, it may make the table wobble. :?

I find that by ripping out pages you soon get the table to rest wobble free.  The rest an be put in the recycle bin or under another less wobbly table. :lol:
