Hi Andy,



May I suggest that you visit as many websites as you can and make notes?
This is what I did when I began gardenoing a few years back.



Such sites as "GardenAction", the RHS website, the BBC website, and there
are many websites/blogs produced by individuals who may live in the same
area as you. Also, try the websites of seed suppliers such as Marshalls,
Thompson & Morgan, Suttons Seeds, Mr. Fothergill, and others. There is
wealth a wealth of information out there. Sometimes, however, as I have
found out you need a group like this to answer specific questions that
ordinary website just don't cover or so disagree with each other that it's
confusing!!!!!!.



Why I produced these A4 monthly sheets was that, just like you I was new to
gardening and only started a few years back and knew next to nothing - there's
still a lot I don't know but am learning (I hope!).



I have done exactly as I have suggested you do and produced a single A4
sheet for each month giving not only what I can plant/sow but what else I
ought to do that month. These I find invaluable as memory joggers. In time,
I believe, and hope, that I won't need them but I certainly do at the
moment!.



As regards what you can grow now It really depends on where you live and
whether you mean this month or over the coming months.



I live on the South Coast and am planning on planting/sowing (or have
recently planted/sown) the following over the next few months until
December.



lettuce (over wintering varieties such as "Artic King")

Over wintering onions, such as T & M's "Hi Keeper F1 Hybrid".

garlic,

cabbage (over-wintering varieties such as January King, Flower of Spring,
Tundra)

winter radish,

carrots such as "Vita Longa"

turnips.

parsley

spinach



And there are various fast-maturing oriental vegetables, which I must admit
I don't grow.



I hope this helps!



Regards,



John

Hi All,

I'm new to growing vegetables on my allotment (getting better every
year!) and I was wondering now I've dug up my onions and planted my
leaks what can I plant in the ever increasing empty space?
Last year I put in mustard as a green manure, but it seems to be a
bit of a waste of all the space available. Have any of you got some
favourites for planting this time of year?

Thanks,
Andy
