It’s a plan (85 days to go…)

Whether you’d want to is a different matter, after all it’s only my finalised cropping plan for the coming year. Just completed in time for nature to laugh her head off..!
Everything shown on there that should be in place by now generally is, including fruit trees, perennials – and piglets. Beds for things yet to be sown are somewhere between ready and completely not ready, mainly the latter. But all 145 beds exist in some form or other.
I’ve not included catch crops, green manures and other opportunist thingies because I genuinely feared my head would explode. I’m undecided if a plan makes things less or more likely to happen. But at least that’s something else to think about it as I lie down in a darkened room.
My opinion is that it will make it more likely to happen. It looks like a frightfully lot of work. And the days seem to be going by fast.
Morning silvercannon,
It is a lot of hard work but in a lovely workplace. Trouble is, the harder I work the faster the time goes!
Impressive. Have taken a copy, reduced the no of beds tenfold but still don’t have the space. How many acres/hectares/square miles did you say you had ?
Hello Simon,
Thank you.
The whole site, including the rented small field, is 2 hectares. But I’d guess the area under cultivation – and that’s still a fairly loose term in some areas – is just over 2 acres in English money.
Wow……just the one word….WOW!!

Thanks Sue,
I hope one day you’ll see it for real one day and say wow! Right now it would be more an “Oh…”
