new help please?

hi

Am new to allotment have got a quite big plot my partner kindly laid plot out and made it ready to plant . Just dont know what to do next or how to go about it so advice needed

Hi and welcome.
Not much you can do this time of year but start planning what you want to grow next year.  Start by thinking what you like to eat, get the seeds and wait.
You could get some garlic in now before the frost comes.

Good luck for next years crop

Hi and welcome has your plot had any manure, on good time to put it on now then leave it to over winter with any luck bumber crops next year happy growing 

You can plant strawberries or rhubarb.  Don't crop the rhubarb and pick off any strawberry flowers next year so that they get well established and you will get better plants for the following year. 

Like others have said, garlic is good to get in before Christmas.  It needs a cold spell to crop well. 

Join your local horticultural society as you can get good discounts on your seed orders if you order through them.

Plan to grow stuff which is expensive in the supermarkets like coriander and celeriac (if you like them) 
Hope that helps.

Hi there

You can also plant fruit shrubs now, I have just planted my raspberries and blueberries.

Good luck!

There's not very much at this time of year.

http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/general/sowing-harvest-vegetable-chart.php is a useful guide.  Also look on the Growing Help link at the top of the page for monthly guides.

Think about what sort of potatoes you would like to grow.
Some varieties are a lot easier than others.
Some don't get eaten by slugs, but some get attacked badly.
Also some are resistant to blight but some are not.
Most people like charlotte, which are good croppers and fairly early.
