Daff, I have just nudged up the Allotment thread by Keith, on Chat.

No gardeners out there yet?

*sigh*

I am wanting to plant potatoes, carrots, cut and come again plants.... herbs such as basil and coriander, my favourites,

sweetcorn, onions, broccoli and swede. Beetroot, radish, tomatoes,

Then there are the plants.... I have seeds for so many... poppies, thistle, sweetpeas, lavender,aquilegia,some others that I can't remember the name of but were stunning last year.......

Ialso have some cuttings that I hope will strike.... rose, bay, fuschia for starters.

I have a woodland area that I planted up late last year.... and this will be it's first year in bloom... I am so looking forward to it... I have some lovely delicate looking plants in it..... The daffs are doing well in it!! Tomorrow they will be in full bloom.

Love

Like, what should I be planting now? and where? In the ground, coldframe or on the conservatory windowsill!!

I planted up a few veg last year, but very late, as I had been poorly and couldn't play in the muck until about June, lol But this year, I want to plant a lot more.

My carrots are going into tubs again, cos that was very successful... no carrotfly at all

I didn't cut back all the died back plants... I felt very neglectful, but I think the *straw* from them protected the plant from the bad weather we had recently...

Should I be cutting back my fuschia and roses now? Or should I leave them a little while longer.

Love

Daff xxxx
