Celery, JAs, Kale... er... and whichever veg are good for improving the memory ;D

Also new for this year - now I've got the lottie - are methods and techniques. Things I can try this year for the first time are crop rotation, and, now I've got the space, succession sowing.

bennettsleg · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2007, 20:57:44 »

last year was for er... "experimenting"...? so this year includes chillies, perennial PS broccoli Nine Star (lasts a few years); pink fir apple & non-inherited potatoes, shallots, hopefully blueberries, globe artichokes, rhubarb, comfrey, cabbages (january king, spring & an autumn), perpetual spinach (tired of the other one bolting), leeks, elephant garlic and trying to grow cuttings of rosemary and lavender.

Another newbie to gardening here.

I don't have an allotment and only a small garden, so I'm growing in containers:-

Leeks
Lettuce
Beetroot
Raddish
Peas
Sweet Pepper
Chilli Pepper
Carrots

Thinking of having a go at Sweet Corn, Aubergine and Potatoes.

Growing Tomatoes, Parsley and Chives which I have grown before.

Jo.

Purple podded climbing beans, purple kohlrabi, purple sprouts and red spring onions. I'm at the age where I do purple as much as I like.

Deb P · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2007, 10:42:43 »

Purple kohl rabi (seems popular this year!) ;potatoes of many kinds (as its my first year at the lottie and I've never had the room before, tried growing in containers last year); Egyptian walking onions; rock melons; some new very hot chilies to try and make OH eyes water, and have tried to contain my natural urge to grow millions of tomatoes by concentrating only on the ones that did brilliantly last year, and a few (ahem, 15, oh alright about 20...ish) new varieties to try.......well that's it so far anyway! ;D

I have ordered some aubergine plants from Simpsons - thanks for the recommendation Tim -this is a first as my attempts a growing them from seed have always failed.

Have bought seed for tomatoes that are supposed to store and keep into the winter like apples - will report back on these...

Mrs Ava · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2007, 23:17:57 »
