Enjoyed your blog John. The allotment garden just fascinates me. I have read blogs from many British and their allotments...

I love reading about people's allotments :)

I had one when I lived in London and there was so much ingenuity to be found. You could walk around and get all sorts of new ideas for everything. I love the mishmash of sheds built out of old doors and rubbish bin rain buckets and so on. Plus there were always of strapping men around willing to trade a few beers for helping a damsel in distress. I look back on it so fondly, then I remember how much easier tomatoes are here :)

I don't know why I never thought to make a simple calendar like that, for some reason I automatically use Excel and it isn't really streamlined for that purpose. Thanks for it!

Hi megp1... if you like a mishmash you'd love my plot! I've got so many things on the go at any one time some of them go off the radar for a while before I stumble over them & bring them back in to focus. Envious about the tomatoes... along with leeks they're my favourite thing... to me tomatoes mean summer is here (having lived in London you know how long we have to wait for summer, & how easily we can be disappointed!). Cheers, John
