Grow Your Own Fruit and Vegetables: Planning for planting next year on the vegetable plot.

Planning for planting next year on the vegetable plot.

Now is a good time of year to start planning what you will plant where on your plot. A crop rotation sequence is worth using when working out just what can be planted or sown in different areas of the vegetable plot for the next growing season.

Another thing to look into is what types of potatoes you want to grow next year this will give you a chance to decide which varieties of seed potatoes will best suit your soil type and also the ones that suit the way you want to cook them.

I have to thank my wonderful husband for all the time and effort he put into helping me get the allotment 'in order'. As on my own it had been impossible to lay paths and clear some of the deep rooted brambles that we had on the plot.

Eventually with his help, we got to the stage where it had paths and looked like a real allotment. Together we created a place that was a timeless place, an escape from the modern world.

Thank you, for all your time and hard work and also for sharing my enthusiasm for digging up the first new potatoes of the year.
