Planning Ahead.

I've been doing a bit of searching to decide what to plant where. The one I like the best so far I found on http://www.gardenaction.co.uk .

This is the plan as it is one the site:

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4

Year 5

Year 6

Year 7

Year 8

Each year, treat each of the plots A, B and C as described below.

PLOT A POTATOES	PLOT A OTHER	PLOT B	PLOT C
Cultivate Double dig adding manure or well-rotted compost. Add two good handfuls of blood, fish and bone meal per sq. metre (yard). Crops Potatoes	Cultivate Double dig adding manure. Add one good handful of blood, fish and bone meal per sq. metre (yard). Crops Aubergines, beetroot, carrots, courgettes, celeriac, celery, cucumber, garlic, leek, onion, marrow, onions, parsnips, peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes	Cultivate Single dig. Add two good handfuls of blood, fish and bone meal per sq. metre (yard). Crops Broad beans, cress, French beans, globe artichokes, lettuce, Lima beans, okra, peas, soya beans, runner beans, spinach, sweetcorn, Swiss chard	Cultivate As plot B. In addition bring the pH level up to 6.5 - 7.0. Crops Brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, calabrese, kale, kohl-rabi, radishes, swedes, turnips

So how does this look for us?

1. Plot A Potatoes will be section one moving from the west end (road end)
2. Plot A other will be next
3. Plot C will be next
4. Plot B next
5. last will be any soft fruit and salads

I may split plot 5 and have a section between section 3 and 4, or 2 and 3.

In reality, I will probably not stick to this at all, but it does mean I know where the digging priority is!
