January

Prepare
This is generally a quiet month but is a good time to tackle some maintenance tasks ready for the busy season ahead. Sort out the shed, and check any stored vegetables in case there are any rotten eggs in the basket or mouse damage to your potatoes. Time to check out those seed catalogues and plan your allotment and crop rotation for the coming months.

Sow
It is now time to sow a few onions in pots for an early crop.

Harvest
Continue harvesting your Brussel sprouts, winter cabbages, Kale, parsnips, leeks, and chicory.
