                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="70" data-end="186">If you’re planning ahead for the allotment, the first few months of the year are all about getting a head start &#x1f331;</p>
<p data-start="188" data-end="396"><strong data-start="188" data-end="200">January:</strong><br data-start="200" data-end="203" />Not much goes directly outside yet, but it’s a good time to sow <strong data-start="267" data-end="295">onions, leeks and celery</strong> indoors or in a heated propagator. You can also chit <strong data-start="349" data-end="367">early potatoes</strong> and make plans for the year.</p>
<p data-start="398" data-end="627"><strong data-start="398" data-end="411">February:</strong><br data-start="411" data-end="414" />Things start moving. Sow <strong data-start="439" data-end="454">broad beans</strong> outside (weather permitting), and start <strong data-start="495" data-end="551">tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, lettuce and brassicas</strong> indoors. You can also sow <strong data-start="578" data-end="601">onions and shallots</strong> if you didn’t in January.</p>
<p data-start="629" data-end="828"><strong data-start="629" data-end="639">March:</strong><br data-start="639" data-end="642" />This is when it really kicks off. Direct sow <strong data-start="687" data-end="736">carrots, parsnips, beetroot, spinach and peas</strong>, and plant <strong data-start="748" data-end="781">onion sets and early potatoes</strong>. More salads and herbs can go under cover too.</p>
<p data-start="830" data-end="914">Always depends on your location and the weather, but it’s a great time to get going!</p>]]></content:encoded>
