Nah...I agree. Variety is the spice of life.Originally posted by Alison View PostWho says that? I'd not want to concentrate on one type as I like variety. Have also found that what does well one year often is rubbish the year after but by growing loads of different things I still get plenty to eat

I think I was confused by the original statement the "it has been said that we should also aim to become an expert/specialist/enthusiast in one." which seemed a very odd thing for anybody to say. Fine if you want to but if you want to be a good generalist then why have a bias?Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostAh, but, Alison, its not to the exclusion of everything else - just some folk have a special interest in some things. Like I went through a phase of buying all the different types of mint I could find. This year its going to be kales - annual and perennial. I'll probably fail dismally but at least I'll know that I'm no good with them
Never did like being told what I should do.......
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Not for one moment would I dream of telling you what you should do I value my life more
But, from some of the replies, there are Grapes who have a particular interest in growing certain veggies (but not to the exclusion of anything else). If you don't, you don't

Although I do like a nice parsnip.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard KiplingComment

Tomatoes, peas, beans and carrots have all been the 'in thing' for me, they're the ones that have to be in separate bags in my seed box because I have so many different varieties They all failed fairly spectacularly last year

Peas for me. Or potatoes. No actually, raspberries. No no, kale. And tree cabbage. Oh yeah, carrots.
Hmmm. I'll settle for potatoes. Love trying new varieties, especially the unusual ones. This year we have 15 varieties...Comment

WPG=Wannabe Pea Goddess. I know peas are probably one of the simplest things to grow, but I find them such a satisfying plant. They grow so fast, smother weeds, have nice flowers, yummy eaten raw pod and all, and crop till the end of autumn. I'd do without many things on the plot, but not peas.Comment

Hi WPG, which part of the fair County of Down are you in? Beautiful climate there. I'm originally from Tyrone originally, Omagh, in the middle of the Sperrins. It rains something like 270 days a year, so our peas never suffer drought...Comment
