Although there are lots of veggies that haven't matured enough to pick, I'm already making decisions on which ones I will or won't grow next year.
Tomatoes
IN - Rambling Red Stripe - absolutely laden with fruit although none are ripe yet. If they meet the taste test they're in.
OUT - Tomberries. So small, about the size of peas. Not worth giving GH space too - they've been turfed out to fend for themselves.
Mangetout
IN - Bijou . Huge pods the size of my hand that stay sweet and stringless - and a heavy cropper
OUT - Goldensweet. Looks good with bright yellow pods but they quickly turn from flat and tasty to fat and tough.
OUT Shiraz - Again looks good with purple pods. Supposed to be a mangetout but the pods harden and fill quickly with the most tasteless peas I've ever eaten.
How about you?
