    I was just wondering how you all plan your allotment for the following year? The fella on the plot next to mine uses a computer program - pops all the info in & it suggests where he should plant.

    Ive scrawled my plan on a piece of paper after going through the seeds i have & what I want to grow. Ive also scrawled on paper a monthly list of what needs planting when.

    Any tips for me or info as to how you all plan yours?

    Years ago I used paper for my home veg patch, just to remind me what I planted where and when. Then it was easy to plan the rotation. Now I use a spreadsheet but it's just the same as using paper, just makes it a bit more accessible and searchable.

        If that is "scrawled", can I see the neat version?
