If you could only grow one vegetable

[bikermike]

what would it be?

Me - strawberries - nothing compares to a fresh strawb off the plant...

[veggiechicken]

^^^ Cheat! Thats a fruit.

[MyWifesBrassicas]

leeks, total stalwart!

[chillithyme]

Yes that’s definately a fruit,but we will pretend it’s a veg just for BM

Sweetcorn for me! And chillies(sorry that’s more than one,but i’m classifying it as a fruit)

[bikermike]

All fruits are vegetables

Anyway, what edible would you grow if you were only allowed one.

[veggiechicken]

Tomatoes (they're a fruit pretending to be a vegetable)
Joan J autumn raspberries (they're a fruit no pretence).

[Trouvere]

Winter squash, which I really like, that may store for 10 months if need be.
Or cabbages, where I can probably cover 12 months of harvesting with 4 varieties.
Or French beans, that I can harvest fresh for a while before allowing pods to dry on the plants for storage.

Chillies



Obviously

Tomatoes for me. The ones you buy can't compare.

[Snadger]

Alliums, because there are so many variations. If you are going to hold me to one allium it would have to be onions which with spring and autumn planting can be on the plot for 365 days of the year.

PS It just so happens I love eating onions in all there guises, and they are very good for you.

[Snoop Puss]

To be honest, if I really could only grow one, I'd probably just stop growing. Could I have a whole family? If so, the allium family. Or maybe legumes. Or maybe... No, I can't possibly choose.

[muckdiva]

Beans, especially the pretty seeded ones. I’m hoping to try some of the ones mentioned on this thread

Would definitely be tomatoes for me but then I'm quite new to them. So much better than shop bought and so many really different varieties to try.

[greenishfing]

I know I 've already said tomatoes but if you asked me in May my answer would almost certainly be asparagus.

[Penellype]

Only one I'd starve. It would probably be tomatoes, but carrots and peas would run them close.
