wellies  :D!
jokes apart. I am trying to do a bit of dig and manure to create a patch of winter onions. I dont think I can do anything this week.

If it stops raining, I'll be sowing pak choi, kale, spinach and lambs lettuce.

If you can get hold of the plants (local garden centre or locate a mail order supplier on Google search) you can still get in winter greens. I'm putting in a few January King and still some of my leek thinnings where the originals failed and winter lettuce.  Nothing to loose by trying really.

Just sown spring cabbage, winter lettuce, lamb's lettuce, rocket and mizuna. Will be planting garlic, shallots, and over-wintering bb and peas when the second batch of dwarf beans and mangetout come out. Then all the beds will be full again.

I am hoping to put in my winter brassicas they have been sent on the 24th but not here yet :( hopefully they will turn up today and I can get them in at the weekend.  I will grow my own for next year, but only had the allotment since the end of july so having to buy what I can at the moment. :)

More carrots for winter.

Sow some lettuce seeds for the greenhouse

Normaly I would be planting my Early Purple Sprouting Brocolli. Now for some reason that has no logic, or reason or anything I can think of, I am not bothering this year  ??? So for me not a lot to be honest, might pop some radish in before the snows come  :blink:

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
