It might be a bit early, but I couldn't resist planting a few rows xD
So apparently it's best to plant similar families of veg in the same beds - as they alter the soil in the same way (such as taking up more of a specific nutrient) and this means you can rotate your crops every year and keep your soil balanced and happy.
Here is what I've planted so far:
Legume family
Broad beans - "Karmazyn" (Bed 1 row 1-4)
Root family:
Parsnips - "Tender and True" (Bed 2 row 1,2)
Allium family
Onions - "Bedfordshire Champion" (Bed 3 row 1,2)
You're also supposed to test the PH (acidity) of your soil before planting but meh, I'm lazy. Lets see if anything comes up! And even if it is too early we can always replant :)
Also.. while I was planting the seeds... I was being watched. I've already seen them loitering around in other allotments, but now it seems I've caught their attention.
The birds >:| Well, the ones that cause all the trouble look more like pea hens (and then there's other pests like rabbits and then slugs), but birds are the most evil looking ones. Leave my teeny veg alone!
