not as many beetroots

I would normally agree with peas but grew sugar snap this year and they were straight from plant to pot no problem and delicious.  Just a couple of small rows kept us in peas for 2 months.

Snowball turnip - I agree slug magnets,  but Milan purple seem fine, faster growing, no slugs and taste just as good

Carrots.  Constant battle with slugs and carrot fly for veg that are abundant as organic carrots in the supermarket - taste better too!

'Blanc a Collet Vert' White & Green Carrot (Realseeds)
In my earth they grow in a very ugly way not at all as catalogue photos and look just like the intended cattle feed.  And the 'subtle' taste doesn't justify their looks.  My other carrots were all handsome  :) (Lisse de Meaux, also from realseeds is my absolute favourite so far - a must have.)

New Zealand Spinach
The blandest vegetable on earth.  I would eat it at another time of year - interesting chunky texture, but there are too many other full flavoured things to eat when it's cropping.  Good ground cover for weeds though.

Crystal lemon cucumber
Not nearly as good a flavour as last year's Marketmore.  Have my eye on Boothby's Blonde for next year.
