Starting to panick!!! 
I've got one bed cleared (thanks to my mum 
) which is quite big, big enough for one rotation set (if that makes sence?!?) and a half assembled greenhouse!
It's 5 weeks today until the baby is due and I can't do any kind of heavy work due to inflamed ribs or something! Typical! And there was me telling the other allotment holders I'd have it all done by April!! lol
So, what should I focus on? I want to grow as much as I can, but I wont be able to get down there with a spade until the end of April/ begining of May! My mum will help out with the digging, so can clear some more space, but don't like her having to do all the heavy work!
The bed that is ready has been manured, so I'm limited to what I can plant there I guess!
I really, really want to grow a lot of carrots, parsnips, swedes, turnips etc
and broccolli and sweetcorn and peas and beans and leeks and soooooo much more!
I'll be using the greenhouse for toms, peppers, cucumbers etc..... hoping to get the other greenhouse up in time to get some good crops from it too.....
I've already got raspberry canes, a few strawberry runners and gooseberry bushes, so we will see some return from the plot regardless of what happens
Someone tell me what to do!!!!! What should I start with? What can wait until the end of April? Should I start things early? I'm in good old sunny Southampton if that helps!
Oh and any suggestions for unusual but traditional boys names would be welcome too!

(he had a dog called Toby when he was little.) So he's Michael instead, with Lawson for his middle name after my Grandad
