   I have been the proud owner of an allotment for 3 years now – so looking forward to the Spring and a new growing season.

   trying veg-growing for the first time. Keen to start early and crop regularly,using a very small patch and containers. a large conservatory will help me get an early start!

   Year four on my allotment is approaching and I can feel the optimism rising. Everything is set up just about as I want it – a dozen raised beds gardened organically, narrow paths between and cloches I’ve made from water piping and horticultural grade polythene. The soil should improve year on year and greater experience should lead to better crops but of course nature may not see things quite to simply.
   I’ve always gardened organically – 25 years as a professional gardener and landscaper without once using chemicals. However I have just read that the supposedly organic, iron-based slug pellets which I used last year may be just as harmful to worms as the traditional non-organic variety. That’s a potential problem for this year if we continue to have a relatively mild winter. My high compost, high humus organic methods might lead to greater snail and slug populations. Much will depend on the weather.
   The pleasure in January lies in selection of the right seeds,
   tidying up the beds and paths and imagining the growing pleasure to come.
