All of them really!

But for usefulness I like Ishikuro Spring Onions. You can sow them early, use the thinnings as spring onions and then leave them in the ground in the autumn and use them like small leeks. I plant them with my carrots to help keep the carrot fly at bay.

Apart from the usual veggies I like to experiment with some unusual ones to see what happens. This year a yellow, round cucumber; red sprouts; borlotti beans; red artichoke; round and stubby carrots as we have stony soil and asparagus pea. I love colour and variety and my lottie partner is a veggie so she's well up for choice.

Also trying out companion planting with herbs to see how that effects pest control as veggie friend prefers organic. So comfrey, angelica, feverfew, borage, pennyroyal, wormwood etc to try....heyho!
