Been making individual pages for the veg I am growing this year:

I have also been putting the planting details in an interactive planting spreadsheet:

Happy Xmas 2011
Happy Xmas to all allotmenteers!!
Well it looks like being a record breaking Xmas this year as the temperatures are set to be above 10°C!!
The AO Index still keep us warm!
This is all good for my winter Peas, Beans and Onions. It looks like the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index being positive (colder stratosphere) is having the classic effect of keeping our little island well above normal temps. We did have a wintry blast with snow a week back that was due to turbid air mixing over us giving us storms but the abnormal warmth looks set to continue into the new year. The AO index is not as positive as earlier in December, but it is still positive.

New Year's Veg Party!
Well all this unseasonal warmth may mean we get an early start to the growing season in the form of early germination in unheated greenhouses and cold tolerant outside plant growth (early signs of spring??). However, April/May is a long way off yet so good care and management is needed to make sure I don't have lots of seedling and young plants but nowhere to plant them. However, an early crop could be on the cards for 2012!!
New for 2012 on this blog
Along with trying to grow plants in specific soil types (pH), I am creating lots of individual pages for the plants I am growing. These pages will be dedicated to one type of plant, so what seeds I have used and their progress over the growing season will be documented on these pages. Hope they prove useful.

All the best and hope you have success in 2012!!

Some Update Photos!
Seeds are on the move!
Photo taken: 23/03/08
The pots (right) are the sprouts - they are coming along very nicely.
The large seed tray are some spare - cabbages and leeks - have loads already - but you never know what you will need to replace
As for the rest - not much movement, just a mixture of flowers and various veg - not beans or peas, as made the mistake of sowing them in here and mice got in!
