Allotment .org.uk is a good site with month by month guides..or just ask away on here :thumbsup:

Whereabouts are you? A lot of books are fine for "the South", but not for Scotland or areas in the rest of the UK that are higher up...

Allotment month by month.
Alan Buckingham. Its a well illustrated hardback that cost me £5 new.
also:
Andi Clevely has a nice book called. The Allotment Seasonal Planner and cookbook.
As above -You may have a local climate that differs from what books or web sites use as their guide to what to do when. If you have some local veg gardners then chat them up or copy what they do. My neighbours still garden in their 80s so my guess is that they know what they are doing month by month.

I have an ancient Percy Thrower book which i sort of follow but i find here in North Yorkshire i'm a good month behind his suggested work schedules.
My other favourite is a Geoff Hamilton one but again i'm a good 2-3wks behind him.
Seed catalogues have come and i spent yesterday afternoon by the fire deciding what i want, what i can have is another matter entirely!

I use a Geoff Hamilton one and it does make suggestions about when seasons start and end in different parts of the country.
