  • What is your most successful crop ever?

    Guess who is planning next year already!?

    I am curious to know what crops seem to work best.

    My most successful crop probably is my anya potatoes, mainly because they are so delicious but also because they are so heavy cropping. two years ago I produced amazing pumpkins from atlantic giant seeds but this year they are pants....too much wet weather I guess.

    Most successful thing I have grown (only started last year) is my Cayenne chilli. Superb plant which has hardly been out of flower and production since June/July last year!! Just need to get brave enough to cook with the produce!
    Happy Gardening,

        Lettuce grows extremely well where I live.

            Dwarf french bean 'The Prince' did really well for me last year! Plants grown from a single packet of seeds I bought from Netto for 19p gave me about 20 carrier bags full of succulent beans throughout the season!

            This year they're crap!

                  I've never grown cauliflowers before and I bought 8 seedlings form a cheap nursery and I am just about to cut the last one tomorow all were so tasty and amazing, it was nice giving them away to people.

                  I havent grown giant sunflowers before and most of the seeds took and I have to thin them out I have 10 which are about 7 ft now.

                    At the moment Annabelle early pots, great taste and lots of them.

                    Also, I have to say, Bedfordshire Champion onions, not 1 has bolted and we've had some weird weather. I have about 150 of them so very happy.


                    An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.

                        The courgette plant last year was amazingly productive. This year, the sunflowers, radishes, spinach and endive have all gone nuts.

                          Beans here and tomatoes...I love beans so I plant tons of them and eat them fresh, give them to a neighbor and I already have about 25 bags in the freezer...that sounds like a lot but we eat green beans every week...we love them...

                            Peas, Early Onward, and my carrots in containers. Last year did Paramex or Paris Market, this year did stump rooted variety Scarlet Horn. Both were a great success and the taste so amasingly different to the shop ones.

                            And when your back stops aching,
                            And your hands begin to harden.
                            You will find yourself a partner,
                            In the glory of the garden.
