as long as you've got a bit of protection and can 'baby' it a bit, melons are o.k.. :)

rasps (tulameen)
strawberries
variety of squash and pumpkin
courgette (yellow rugosa knobbly type and middle eastern trieste)
globe artichoke
romanesco
shiminata japanese onions
raddicchio
tomatos
fancy beans (trail of tears, aduki, black turtle, pinto, yard long, red noodle etc)
celeriac
chicory
alpine strawberries
sweet cicely and various wild herbs

Strawberrys but i bet they don't germinate with this cold snap.
Melons, Caulis, just a couple as I got a mental block at the moment.

I failed to get any to propagate last year but will try again. I'd tried a seed bed approach. E-mailed Chiltern seeds in the Autumn who said:

"With regard to the Good King Henry, these should be started off in the warmth and, as with all Chenopodiaceae, germination is likely to be slow and irregular and could take many months. We would certainly never advise sowing the seeds directly into the ground as we feel the extremely high losses that can be expected are far too high and we would recommend starting these off indoors in seed trays/pots."

With this advice in mind (and a new packet very kindly donated by Chiltern) I hope to do better this year :)

Lemon grass,
butternut squash,
pomegranates (maybe indoors though),

After reading lots of posts - going to give sweet potatoes a go - there are two suspended in jars of water and I am waiting for the first roots to appear

sawfish · « **Reply #38 on:** February 09, 2007, 19:28:17 »

I really want to try soya beans too as they're really lovely!

Marymary · « **Reply #39 on:** February 09, 2007, 21:55:29 »

Kohl Rabi, sweet potatoes, snap peas, lemon grass - small amounts of lots & lots of things.
