2006 Allotment Planting Plan
This was our first year on the plot and as such we only had a rough idea of what goes well with what or where and how we should be considering planting each variety.
The main thing we wanted to achieve with this planting style was the discouragement of carrot fly by interspercing the planting of Carrots with heavily scented crops like Onions and Garlic. This had some limited sucess yet towards the end of the season we did see some significant damage inflicted by the little blighters.
The beans flourished on the northern side of the plot as did the pumpkins and squashes to the east, however some downy mildue did present itself towards october as a result of an infected and sprouting Oak Tree stump.
