Allotment Agreement Only Just posted :(

[wadsleyparkowl]

Hi Folks,

I posted my first post about 2.5 weeks ago having just been to view my first ever plot. I've just found out that Sheffield City Council bless em have only just posted the agreement out to me, and only upon receipt of it being sent back signed can I get my "gate key".

Any way, lots of digging & planning to do but at least I have my wellies & thermal socks ready to go

What I wanted to ask was this. Is it too late now to plant over wintering onions once a bed has been cleared. I have read on various forums that as long as it's not too wet & the ground is workable that it should be ok, but I didn't want to just chuck money away. I had been told redar should be ok???

I just wanted to get something growing whilst I dig & clear for England.

Any advice welcome.

Get some overwintering sets, and start them off at home in modules. They should soon form roots and shoots and can be planted out on the lottie when you have a bed ready for them.

Radar?

That's an overwintering one, yes. There are others, but see what you can get hold of locally
