What veg are you trying for the first time??

[coreopsis]

Leeks and might try aubergine and cauli.Didn't have much luck with celeriac either.

[ginger ninger]

Last year my veg to try was "Jerusalem Farty chokes"...O.M.G , I didn't realise just how tall the dam things grew. I'm surprised they couldn't be seen from outer space.

[zeezeezed]

Almost everything ...... because Im new to this lark lol

But Im planning to try and keep it simple and try a few of lots of things.

We both love squash and green beans so there should be plenty of them!

[OverWyreGrower]

Ooh yes, am going to try some JA's too....

Going to grow them at the side of my bird run to provide some shade and shelter

Buckshorn Plantain

What's this then??

[zazen999]

It's a salad leaf but medicinal....Buckshorn Plantain

Found it in a chums' drawer when she left GO - that's the sort of thing we find when people leave where I work! Odd little packets of strange and wonderful veg.

I have a middle bed at the lottie with rasps and strawbs in it - and I like to plant all sorts of weird and wonderful patches of leafy veg around it. it has bunches of chives, bloodleaf sorrel, small clumps of garlics for the flowers, oddments of leeks that are left to flower for the seed, and I'll pop some of these around and about.

technically I grew aubergines last year, but never got any fruit, also the same with squashes.

[Nicos]

...different bean and squash varieties me thinks!

[northepaul]

I put it down to experience - perhaps I might have a better clue this year

[Pumpkin Becki]

...different bean and squash varieties me thinks!

Ditto!

I can't think of a new type of thing I'll be growing this year, but I have come into possession of a new-to-me climbing bean variety called 'Lazy Housewife' - how perfectly apt!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Ooooh I lie! I'm growing onions from seed for the first time this year. I've only ever done them from sets so far.

[Bramble_killer]

I'm going to try water spinach, a different member of the sweet potato family where you eat the tender shoots. It needs a bit of warmth and lots of water. My clay soil holds lots of water and a cloche/tunnel should help. Quick cropping too apparently, just a while to germinate.


Also going to try and get more than one squash and one pumpkin to harvest. I will manage it!

edit: OH! I've also got a new fig tree! and a hinomaki red gooseberry

[Patchninja]

I'm going to try celery and cucumbers.
I grew melon pears last year and they're very tasty.

[OverWyreGrower]

I'm also thinking of a couple of medlar trees for our orchard, as well as a cape gooseberry
