You can buy a gardeners diary, put in day to day what you do and many have full details of what you need to do. I have kept notes for 20 years, which are always good to look back on, I can see how the seasons have changed over the years, even so I keep most of what I need in my head.

Hi Great,
At the end of the year I will be covering most of my allotment plot with farm yard manure and leaving it until March time. I won't put manure where I am going to plant carrots or any of the onion family. I won't be digging it in either!
Don't forget you should still have some brasica's in.
Oh yes, if your not totally stark raving loony, why are you growing veggies? Lol

Thanks Dr.Bob where do I get said dairy from WH Smiths? as I have never seen one. I too have made notes; not for as long as you though, maybe the last 3/4yrs. I agree the seasons are definately changing

So I know whats gone into them Ian lol ha ha

Anything else Ian apart from compost of course, Cover with plastic or fleece I take it until spring; or leave it open to the wildlife?

Yes, try W.H. Smiths or go on the R.H.S. website you may get a good one from them.

Alan titchmarsh kitchen gardner has good indications what you should be dloing each month also has quite a few tips on what varietys are best too x I bought it about 2 years ago for £20

I will be leaving mine open to the elements Great. Partly due to the size of an allotment and partly because the elements will help to rot down the manure and come spring I will be able to plant straight into it. (Lazy man's gardening! Lol)

Lazy gardening I like it, ok leave beds open to rot down got it BR.Bob i guess now it is April I have mossed the diaries but will pu t it on my christmas wish list for next year. I do keep a journal of what I sow and plant and weather conditions and on the slug population ha ha.
Night night everybody tomorrow is a new day I do hope it will be warmer
