This is a brilliant idea and one i need to do as im always misplacing seeds and growing cabbage when i think it was going to be sprouts, nice one Claire thanks for this

wow u grow alot of food, do u eat it all? what do u do when you get to much, do u sell it, or jar and pickle them too?

[clairesallotment]

@jakeboy588 Yes we eat most of it. Some I give to my sister. If we've got too much I then either freeze it or this year for the first time I've made chutney. I tasted it the other day and it was very nice. The fruit I tend to make jam with. So much better than the shop stuff you get.

Oh and to help with bees I've actually stopped cutting my lawn around the garden. It's mostly clover and it blooms like crazy attracting lots and lots of bees =)

Unfortunately I have to keep my grass short at home because the foxes will use it as a toilet, and at the allotment it has to be short so that it doesn't encroach on the beds. A clover lawn is beautiful.

That is actually a good idea ;)

It's always a good way of not forgetting to sow anything.
