Is it to late to start with potatoes as everywhere I read say that I needed to start back in January!
I am very new to gardening but have been given a allotment and really want to make the most of it. I have discovered that I know absolutely nothing about gardening. Unfortunately I can't ask family as nobody has really ever done much gardening apart from a few flowers in the back garden. My first day on the allotment will be on Saturday, I have seen the allotment and the chairman has asked me to return on Saturday to sign the documents and pay rent etc.
It is 300 sq yards and currently has a greenhouse and a shed with a couple of red currant trees. The questions are;
1. What should my first job be to start
2. Is there a plan of action
3. What equipment will I need
4. What is best to plant at this time of year
5. How much compost should I buy
Thanks in advance and sorry for having absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I really want to give this my best shot rather than just giving the allotment before I even start because I don't know what I'm doing. I've always wanted a allotment as well so I'm really excited!
