Not completely finalized, but this is my allotment planting plan for 2009. I’ve rotated the beds from last year so hopefully that should work in my favour. I’m also going to try making some willow branch wigwams soon to grow my peas and beans over. I’ve got a large willow tree looming over my plot and pinching all the light so I think some serious pruning is in order.
Plus I’ve starting some indoor sowing and after a beautiful day today, it finally feels like spring has really sprung. I can’t wait to get going!

I used to live in York and had only a paved walled yard so didn’t get to do any gardening ! Am hoping to put that right this year now I am living down south. I am concentrating on tomatoes and am blogging about how I get on. As I haven’t actually grown any of my own yet I ‘borrowed’ your photo of ‘Gardeners Delight’ from Flickr ( and of course credited you and linked here as I thought it was a nice place for people to click through to).
I notice on this year’s plan you don’t have tomatoes ! How did last years turn out – or do you grow those at home ?
Looking forward to seeing how it all grows !

How wonderful! but much too organized for me. I am lucky if I manage to scribble a plan down on the back of an envelope, otherwise it’s all in my head.

Hi Lucy
I’ve just been looking at your blog – it’s very interesting! I’m hopefully moving to Otley next month. I’ve put my name on the waiting list today but how long were you waiting before you got one?
Thanks
