Courgette - for those couple of months or so where everyday you seem to pick a new fruit. Though i didn't spend a great deal of effort or time on them, a single application of nettle feed when planting out and that was it. Just started a couple for this year. All the seeds germinated and the growth they put on everyday is incredible. I love courgettes
I love squash! I grew one butternut last year and had 2 fruit on it.... But I loved that plant and looked after it like a baby! I got the seed out of a butternut that I bought in the supermarket so I ws thrilled when it grew into such a big plant - it grew inches every day FAB. Ive got lots of different varieties to try this year! Cant wait - may start them tomorrow!
Still hopin my courgettes will come through in my raised bed got a few things comin up now but not sure if there just weeds sowed straight to bed so might have to get more seeds and germinate in the propagater
Chillies are my favourite crop, because they're so pretty and my non-gardening friends think they must be really difficult to grow and are consequently super-impressed

cucumbers because they're delicious and you can eat them straight off the plant over a long period from summer to autumn.
I like pumpkins for how the vines wonder around, and the brightly coloured fruit sits in the corner like a monster.
(But I don't like how you can't harvest pumpkins till the autumn.)
Can't wait for my cucumbers to grow now is the taste really that different to shop bought??I find shop bought don't have a lot of taste just watery .strawbs from the garden are amazingly different to shop bought can't wait for them this year anuther month I think and they will be ready to eat
I'm with Two Sheds - gotta be chillies. The plants look so great when they're fruiting - and I get a years supply of chillies saved in the freezer which usually start to run out just as the new crop are starting to ripen. This year I've got 7 varieties growing, including 2 plants I overwintered from last year. They've already got little flower buds developing and I love seeing how they grow from day to day!
It's Garlic for me, followed closely by Courgettes and then First early spuds.
I always get a Courgette glut. I'm still eating Ratatouille from the freezer made from last years Courgettes, and garlic. I didn't have enough Toms and Onions to make it all from the plot.
