What new vegetable will you grow this year?

[allaboutliverpool]

I am going to try Okra for the first time, I know I like to eat it.

I will give Aubergines one last go I have only ever managed one fruit in 3 years.

I will NEVER grow asparagus peas again they were disgusting tasting and wasted a raised bed. They were only edible when tiny and too laborious too pick enough and over 1 inch in length were woody like old runner beans.

This is my first year of cropping the asparagus after a long wait.

All the climbers-french beans and peas.I've never grown potatoes and chillies.Have the general idea about the rest

[selfraising]

This year I'm going to try Kohlrabi,Celeriac and Cauliflowers. This will also be my first year for red onion sets too although I did grow shallots last year

[helly]

I'm trying green artichokes, I think I ave to wait until the 2nd year to get a better crop though

[lynda66]

i'm going for different types of beans never really eaten them before except from a tin

[Mrs Jackson]

I'm going to try potatoes and shallots and maybe a few different types of beans. My 3 year old wants to grow cabbages so I suppose we'll have to grow a couple of those. I am somewhat limited due to the size of my garden, but I may take over a patch of my Mum's garden for pumpkins, onions, borlotti beans for drying and globe artichokes.

Cucumbers that look like lemons, A miniature runner bean that grows in a patio pot, I'll have another go at Okra, nothing came up last year.

[Mcbee]

Chillies and Chard for me!

[Claire72]

Trying kohl rabi, pumpkins, leeks and turnip this year, not tried any of them!!!!

[Herbie]

Heritage peas for me. But also the first year of growing banana shallots so really looking forward to trying these.

Oh and lots of different chili's.

[Printemps]

Apart from the usual veg I attempt, I'm going to have a go at growing these for the first time:

Florence fennel
Watercress
Sweet potatoes
Pak Choi
Lemon Grass
Purple sprouting broccoli
Radicchio
Chillies

.... pests, diseases & weather permitting!!! (It pays to have a get-out clause!!) LOL!

[FionaH]

They are all new. First full year growing

[sewer rat]

This year, courtesy of the shelter afforded by the walled garden I am going to start globe artichokes ready for next season, going to lay down 20 artichoke crowns in a bed, and try celery too. At my own place it will be all the usual suspects with the addition of Kohl Rabi, Chiogga beetroot and Golden beetroot.

[kiwirach]

Anything other than potatoes is going to be new for me!!

this is my first full yr at growing. once i've got this yr under my belt, i plan to grow one new vege a season...something i dont normally eat, and try it to see if i can expand what i eat....thats the idea....i'm a fussy old thing tho, so who knows!

[barney]
