Topic: What are you going to grow for the first time this year?

[kt.]

Total new stuff - Butternut Squash and French runner beans. 

I am also trying some different varieties of other stuff including caulis, cabbages, radish, lettuce, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peas, carrots.

Found some mini butternut squash seeds, only 6 in a packet so I'll be pollenating them by hand and hoping for the best.

KEA!

Kale is a great crop! And it's really hardy too. I love it  ;D

Great stir-fried. X

Red Russian Kale - bought some at farmer's market last year and we fell in love with it ;D
And some heritage peas and yet more different varieties of tomatoes, potatoes and squash!

I'm trying yellow courgettes, i'm quite excited. Hope they do better than my wilted chillies and peppers!

I know this is a bit previous, but this year I want to actually grow things through winter...we only had perpetual spinach and one kale plant which escaped the pigeons to crop from all winter.

Going to try purple sprouting, mizuna, mibuna, parsnips, sprouts and proper spinach.

If pigeons are a real problem those cheap plastic "greenhouses" make a great frame for netting over big plants... keep an eye out for someone whose gets blown about/broken and offer to get rid of the bits for them....  ;D
