I almost wish you lived nearby, some of your enthusiasm might rub off on me.
I have to agree JJB
I'm another who loves reading Veggies plans

Spreadsheet!! Pah
They're about as much use to me as a chocolate fireplace.My version is written on a postcard - although I need to rewrite it as its looking a bit tatty.(Tatties = Roots on Monday)

Failed on Day 1!
Workmen here this most of the day fitting new garage doors so couldn't head off to the end of the garden to plant shallots + its been too wet and windy.
I have a sprouting onion (one that I prepared earlier - a couple of months earlier) to eat tonight.
Fruits day tomorrow - will sow some broad beans and pick tomatoes.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - JJB - 08-12-2021
Are the new doors automatic V? Or have we already had this conversation ?
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 08-12-2021
No and Yes.

Some people spend Christmas opening presents and making merry - - not me. I'm making plans for the new RSFLF Challenge of 2022 which starts, officially, on 1st January..........but I'm having a practice run this week.
On Sundays, I'll fill all the containers with compost (a bucket for Roots on Monday), and 5 tetrapacks (one side removed) to sow quick turn round veg (radish, sprouting onions, pea shoots, salad leaves etc - that can spend all their life in the same tetrapak); Tuesday's shoots, Wednesday's fruits and Thursday's leaves will be in modules. Flowers in Modules/pots.
Also, I'll find the seeds to sow that week and write labels!
Preparation is key to success.
Remind of this next week please.
RE: New RSFLF Challenge. :D - Veggie - 26-12-2021
All ready for Week 1.
Bucket & 2 tetra paks filled with compost. (only had 2 as I've been throwing them away!)
Monday - sow Early Nantes carrot & French Breakfast radish
Tuesday - Blue Solaise leeks and Mizuna
Wednesday - early tomatoes (need to set up the propagator first) & pea shoots
Thursday - Hispi cabbage and Rocket
Friday - Sweet peas and Basil
Wish me luck.

Best of luck. You might very well succeed with the mild temperatures we're having.

I'd hoped to dig up some Oca and Chinese Artichokes to eat a Root today but its too wet to go rootling in the mud. Maybe next Monday?
