I'm well and truly bitten!

Take the plot now, Musha. It may slip through your fingers otherwise.
Don't worry too much about plants seeding - just cover the ground as best you can with cardboard or some other weed suppressant. Uncover it a bit at a time and clear that area and plant it up.
You can plant things like courgettes and squashes through cardboard too.
You don't have to clear everything before you start growing.

If you find yourself between jobs then it can be a great way to maintain your sanity and also to have breaks from the family. Before this job I was unemployed for a year and my previous allotment was alot better than watching Jeremy Kyle or Judge Judy every day.

That's what I'm thinking! There's bits and pieces I can do around home but that's a weeks worth of work at the max. I've got an Etsy shop that I need to start up again too with handmade baby items that will bring in a few extra £'s but again, that's something I can do of an evening when I can't work outside.

I think I'd go crazy if I was stuck in the house for more than a few days!
