This is the basic plan for our field area of veg and we started to pick varieties today (promising oursleves we would dump the out dated seeds in the box and only use really good stuff this year). First order for sets and seeds up to Xmas was nearly £25. We need to order again just before Xmas and then for the late seeds. I am going to collect up the delivery notes and keep a record this year. 

The only saving grace today was that it was on line and we saved £5 of petrol and £10 on coffee and cake but not going to the garden centre!

  1. Good planning. I would like to doper fruit and potatoes next year. Winter veg will be on the agenda as I should have a netted cage to keep the pesky cabbage white at bay!

    1. We brought some really good netting, so silky and easy to handle. I must find its details and take a picture as I am going to recommend it!
