    Parsnips....no matter how many I sow, I never seem to get enough.
    More winter squashes too.

      I shall plant more cavolo nero kale and chance it with some non-cherry tomatoes. I have a really sunny plot, but have always been too paranoid to plant any normal big tomatoes. The cherry tom crop was so huge though, that I think I can chance a few big tom plants in 2020...

Oh and many more runner beans rather than french.
          curious why runner beans not French ?

            It's got to be beans for me - especially Cannellini(sp)beans.

            Having given up all forms of meat a few months ago - I need something to maintain my protein intake.

            I've never been a great fan of beans - but have recently discovered how beautiful these ones are.

            Oh, and sugar snap peas.
            Although I've always grown peas, I never grew sugar snap or mangetout varieties - I've become addicted to these now.

              Winter squash.

              Gotta get some varieties other than 'red onion' (something kabuchi?) and butternut squash. They look great when stored. Oh and a newbie last autumn that I didn't know could be stored - tromboncino d'albenga.

                Beetroot for me as it makes amazing chutney.

                  Broccoli and cauliflower, as they are two things the small person will happily eat.

                  One of the purposes of doing a no-dig organic allotment is to know that I am giving him food that is fresh and as full as possible of vitamins etc.

                  Going to try and grow some "iron age beans" this year, but I suspect they will cross-pollinate with the modern beans, unless I net them.

                  I'm hoping for more squash this year, as they can be stored, and it's nice to pull them out of the store at this time of year.

                  More tomatoes, I've got some saved seed from some big outdoor toms given to me by the next plot, so I'm hoping to grow them for the pot and make Pomodoro.

                  I'm not growing curly kale, they fill up with whitefly and they are so curly it's impossible to wash them off.
