Just been told I have an allotment - time to panic?

[Jay-ell]

Welcome to the vine Jayne




Don't worry about the plot, just split it into small tasks and think about one task at a time.

Of course the first task is to wander around, gawk and smile to yourself.

The second task is to take photos and post them here so we can all gawk at the plot.

Congratulations.

Don't panic (in large friendly letters - courtesy of Douglas Adams)...

It's unlikely you will feed the starving millions this late in the season but there are still some things you can do.

1, mulch or cut light off of all unused beds so you kill exclude weeds.
2, car boot and buy some winter greens, late runner beans, a few seed potatos etc and transplant them into whaever beds are usable (if any).
3, enjoy the experience and don't panic.
4, plan what to do in small stages and remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
