Growing:-
First Earlies, Epicure and Lady Christi
Second Earlies, International Kidney
Maincrop, Golden Wonder and Picasso. As I ordered my seed potatoes late I couldn't get any of the varieties I normally grow so these are all experiments.
Peas:-
Jaguar, Twinkle (almost finished now) and Hurst's Greenshaft.
Beans:
French bean, Fasold, Yin yang bean.
Brussels Sprouts: Briggitte
Savoy Cabbage: Tourmaline
Broccoli. Wok Brocc
PSB: Rudolph
Sweetcorn: Sundance (tons of)
Pumpkin: Pottimarron
Butternut Squash: Harrier
2 types of courgette, but can't remember either variety - though one's yellow and one's green.
Quinoa
Tomatoes: Ferline, Legend and Yellow Tumbling Tom.
Cucumber: Can't recall the variety, but it begins with an E
Lettuce: A green cut and come again whose name escapes me and Lollo Rosso.
Plus, various spring onions, beetroot and radishes.
Carrots: Chantenay and Autumn King.
Parsnips. Decided to try a different variety from my usual choice of 'The Student'.... can't remember the name though now.
Swede: Ruby
Salsify.
Spinach.
Leeks: Musselburgh
Onions: Radar and Senyshu (sp?) Yellow (autumn) Centurion (spring)
Soft Fruit:-
Blackcurrant: Ben Connan. Red Currant: Red Lake, White Currant, White Versailles. Gooseberry: Pax. Raspberry: Autumn Bliss and Fall Gold. Strawberry: Cambridge Favourite. Blueberries; Jersey, Earliblue, Bluecrop (2 of) and Duke
Tree Fruit:-
Apple: Herefordshire Russet, Bramley, Red Falstaff.
Plum: Victoria (but 3 trees - I just love them)
Oranges and Lemons
Figs.
Hazel Nuts.
Lots of herbs.
Still to sow:
Runner beans: White Lady, a second sowing of french beans: Blue Lake (for drying), more peas, more salad crops. Might have a go at Christmas spuds.
In my defence I'd just like to say that I do have a note at home of the varieties I can't remember. I'm still searching for the delicious Savoy cabbage I grew one year and couldn't remember the type by the time Christmas came and I tasted the first one - won't make that mistake again.
