What are you going to grow for first time in 2018?

[Snoop Puss]

I'm not growing much in the way of veg that's new to me but I am going to try new varieties of lots of things I've already grown. So for example, rather than Paris Market carrots I'm going to try Oxhella. And in addition to Autumn King carrots for overwintering, I'm going to give Eskimo a go. And in some cases I'm going back to old favourites. There's been a bit of a clear-out of my seed box in recent weeks.

Like Nicos! gunna have a bash at growing Melons!

One particular variety I came across is suitable for growing outdoors in our British climate, but I won't, will grow under cover to give it a better chance, but can't find the "Sodding" seed packet to tell ya what it is, think it's in the back of the car!

I grew 2 varieties of melon outside under a plastic cloche this year. Magenta performed brilliantly, giving me 3 4-5 inch melons and several smaller ones from one plant. Alvaro gave me a couple of tennis ball sized ones from one plant.

Nope! But not in a panic as these need not sowing early!

Sure they'll turn up before I need em!

Romanesco, love it, only ever got leaves and maybe something resembling PSB. This year Rodney....

Never thought I would ever say this but new this year will be sunflowers. Our South facing front has what the builder calls "icing" on it so a few tall yellow sunflowers will give a nice contrast. And yes I have passed the severe stress test!

Aaaaaaaah! Small Pumpkin now you have organised the first square foot what are you going to plant in the rest of the garden?

[veggiechicken]

Of course I will grow summat new in 2018 but I have no idea what yet. Nearly everything I grow is new to me.

I've grown that many different things over the years,I sometimes cannot remember whether what I'm trying now as NEW, I haven't already grown in the past! Auld age is a wonderful thing innit!

Watermelon. It's already in the ground, but I've never grown it before.

Also planning to grow oats for the first time ever when the weather gets cooler.

[sparrow100]

I am hoping to get seeds of a rare Japanese squash as well.

Ooooh which one? *nosyface*

Most veg varieties, I like to try something every year, and tomorrow I will start my tomatoes.
