What's your veggie obsession?

[rustylady]

My big 'wish I would stop growing them' is courgettes - I don't 'mind' them but realised this year that we ate about 4 out of the whole crop and gave/threw the rest away......I'm determined not to grow them next year.....but I do have a really lovely yellow seed to try and I love the way the plants grow and are so productive.....

Me too - I really only need 2 plants, but this year I bought a pack of mixed seed (yellow, green and "white"). Of course I had no idea which was which so I had to plant them all, didn't I???

I was like that until I discovered Di's pickled courgette recipe. Now I need to grow more

We've still got 5 jars in the fridge, and one big one opened and had them on pizza tonight. Bally gorgeous and still crisp as anything.

Its worth growing courgettes just to be able to make that pickle.

I have not successfully grown squashes yet, I couldnt get them to germinate.
Chillis is my best success this year, along with lettuce and toms.

However I am quite obsessed with the idea of growing aubergines, as I didnt have any luck with them either....next year fingers crossed.

I also LOVE growing strawberries and have added another 18 plants around the garden for next year...

Always had a thing for chillies, but after this season, I need more Chard, cavolo nero and pakchoi,

[Pumpkin Becki]

I feel your 'pain' Davy! I'm in Pumpkin Becki's camp and a squash lover (they sprung themselves upon me when I wasn't paying attention

Confession...I sowed 20 different Pumpkin and Squash varieties this year - They make me smile, what else can I say

[Two_Sheds]

I need more Chard

Let a couple go to seed and you'll never be without it again. I have about 40 plants dotted around my lotty, all different colours too

I'm with PB on this one - my obsession is pumpkins and squashes - mainly because they do so well on my plot.

Thanks for that going to print it and keep for next years glut...... I do not need 6 courgette plants (but I know I will plant them)

[Bren In Pots]

I made 6 jars of courgette pickle its yum.

Mine has to be runner beans, chillies, tomatoes and of course squash. But I grew Jerusalem artichokes for the first time this year...enough said

I think my obsession is potatoes, although I only grow 3 varieties - just lots of them!! I think squash are another one, but I'll stick to my favourites next season. Wasn't impressed with the Yellow Scallops or Pumpkin. Cobnuts are an underrated classic. Ooh and onions! Have only put in 100 this weekend, but I am imposing on someone else's plot, or else it would be the usual 250!
