    Looks great. Is there a way to zoom in as I can't make out some of the things you are growing?

    A pond and a greenhouse! Very nice

    Will try and work out how to post mine up

      Not sure how to make it bigger ....a bit of a technophobe I'm afraid. The GH is still in bits , weather stopped play on that. I could talk you round it if you wanted.

            Ok.you asked for it............
            We'll start at the top where the GH will be and go down one side and up t'other.....
            Bed 1....Sweetcorn underplanted with BNS
            bed 2....Cucumbers, gherkins and courgettes
            Next to bed 2....asparagus bed (grown from seed the year in 2009 )
            Then comes the raspberries ....inherited with the plot
            Next there is at the side , a globe artichoke (thankyou Jacob Marley)
            Alongside that a narrow bed that has garlic and overwintering onions and a bigger one that will be parsnips, beetroot, fennel , carrots and swiss chard.
            then our seating area (made from pallets as decking ) shed and water tank finishes off that side.
            Up t'other side.........
            Firstly compost bins where a pumpkin will be planted
            A row of gooseberries (inherited)
            The fruit patch, which is strawberries and rhubarb........maybe a tomato or two.
            Next up is the legumes....Climbing frnce beans, borlottie, peas, mange tout, dwarf french beans and broad beans.
            Next up is the brassicas....Not too sure on how many of each yet as have a varied selection ..trying the igloo caulis this year and sprouts for the first time...
            Then there is my tattie bed , probably only earlies as I will need the space for leeks ..
            Alongside that is my runner beans and probably a pumpkin or two.
            And lastly there is the onion bed for shallots and onions and two more compost heaps.
            PSB and spring cabbage will follow the onions, and leeks and celeriac and celery will follow the tatties......
            There will be marigolds dotted round the edges of the beds and around the edges of the lottie I have various perennials, herbs comfrey etc ...
            Phew think that's covered it ......any questions or have you fell asleep ?

                zzzzzzz.....zzzzzzz.....wha?...oh

                Joking

                Love the idea of underplanting the corn with squash. Think I'll nick that one!

                Do you go for companion planting, rotating beds or just the where I have space method?

                Had the allotment long? Looks like you've got it pretty sorted.

                              Yeah, Thompson and Morgan seem to be doing a promotion on it.

                              I've been playing with it for the past few nights. At first I was a bit dubious in a 'pfft, what's wrong with a piece of paper and a pencil' kind of way, but I've got to admit I'm hooked!
