Most of them, some I just try out because they look unusual or I've never heard of them before for instance I have some tree spinach which has really pretty magenta and green leaves.
Not this year but if you look at one of the piccies there is a big yellow dustbin (I spray painted it) and I had courgette one ball in that and the courgette trailed over the side.
It is only a small garden, probably about 50feet long (beyond which is a large shed) and 20 feet wide at it's widest point, that doesn't include the patio area and it goes downhill a bit and narrows but I squeeze as much in as I can. I have growing at the moment:
Sweetcorn
broadies
radishes
lettuce
beetroot
climbing french beans
pumpkins
butternut squash
dwarf runners
dwarf french beans (2 varieties)
toms ( about 6 varieties)
Cucs
Aubegines
Hamburg parsley
5 varieties of carrots
Spuds
melons
gooseberries
peas
mangetout
Kiwi
Grapes
garlic
Onions
Spring onions
toms
celeriac
Peppers
chillis
Watercress
Oh and loads of herbs and flowers and a pond
I hope this inspires people by saying that you don't need a huge plot to grow lots of things, just be creative with the space
